Jon Oringer (born May 2, 1974) is an American programmer, photographer, and billionaire businessman, best known as the founder and CEO of Shutterstock, a stock media company headquartered in New York City.[1] Oringer started his career while a college student in the 1990s, when he created "one of the Web's first pop-up blockers."[1][2] He went on to found about ten small startups[3] that used a subscription method to sell "personal firewalls, accounting software, cookie blockers, trademark managers," and other small programs.[1]

In 2003, Oringer founded Shutterstock to provide microstock photography, which has been publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange[4] since 2012.[4][5] As a result of going public, in 2013 Oringer was reported to be New York's first tech billionaire.[1] Shutterstock had over 100,000 contributors as of March 2016,[6] with an "active customer base of 1.4 million people in 150 countries."[7] Among other accolades, in 2012 Oringer was named New York's Technology Entrepreneur of the Year by Ernst & Young,[8] and the following year Oringer was recognized as one of Crain's New York[9] 40 Under 40.[10]
