PicMonkey was founded by former Picnik employees Brian Terry, Justin Huff, Charlie Whiton, and Lisa Conquergood, with financial support from former Picnik CEO Jonathan Sposato. Picnik was a popular online photo editor that had been acquired by Google in 2010, but was shut down in January 2012. Terry, Huff, Sposato and others saw this as an opportunity to create a new company, PicMonkey, which was founded in April 2012 with the stated aim of creating a “fast and lightweight” photo editing experience.
