Who are the founders of Instagram?

The founders of Instagram are Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger. They co-founded the company in 2010 while they were working together on a mobile check-in project called Burbn. Kevin Systrom, who had a background in programming and business, served as the CEO of Instagram, while Mike Krieger, who focused on engineering and design, served as the CTO (Chief Technology Officer).

Together, Systrom and Krieger developed Instagram into a photo-sharing platform that quickly gained popularity and grew into one of the most widely used social media platforms in the world. Their vision and innovation played a significant role in shaping the direction and success of Instagram before its acquisition by Facebook in 2012.
