Company mission
To equip photographers with the tools, community, and exposure they need to expand creatively and professionally.
Our take
VSCO (pronounced "vis-co") is a photo and video editing app that's all about creativity without the pressure. Unlike Instagram and Facebook, which are driven by ads and likes, VSCO focuses on making money through subscriptions, giving users a refreshing break from the constant follower count anxiety.
Co-founded by an ex-wedding photographer passionate about simple, beautiful photography and a former Creative Director, VSCO knows exactly what the creative community crave. While it competes with Instagram and newer apps like Tezza, VSCO has built a strong, loyal following with its creator-first approach, which will most definitely help it see future success.

Benefits
- Balance: Flexibility is really important to us, and family always takes precedence. We have a Flexible Time Off policy for eligible employees, and we encourage each other to take breaks so that we can do our best work, refreshed. We also offer paid parental, medical, and caregiver leave so you can take the time you need to disconnect
- Benefits: Our team’s health and wellness is a top priority. VSCO offers flexible time off, a 401(k) retirement plan, insurance (medical, dental, vision, life/AD&D, short and long-term disability), 11 paid holidays, and a monthly tech & well-being stipend. Employees also have access to well-being perks such as Peloton, Wellhub (formerly Gympass), One Medical, Spring Health, and Headspace
- Remote Work @ VSCO: VSCO operates as a fully remote organization with employees working from their home office across several states in the US, with over 50% of the company working in the Bay Area and Los Angeles. While we are dispersed, teams stay connected through participation in quarterly virtual team-building events and bi-annual in-person offsites
