ANECDOTE

Bootstrap With Paper Products

  • Behance started with a physical paper product to help creatives get organized and bootstrap the company.
  • This non-dilutive revenue helped support the mission before the digital product gained traction.
INSIGHT

Focus On Work, Not Resume

  • Creatives wanted recognition and attribution for their work, not just another social site.
  • Behance focused on a professional portfolio platform emphasizing work quality over personal resume.
ADVICE

Build Attribution Into Products

  • Attribution in creative work is often missing and undervalued.
  • Building systems that expose true contributors can empower people and improve creative industries.
