Sticker.place operates as a developer of a messaging platform focused on the publication and distribution of digital stickers. Founded in 2016 by Andrew Nikiforov, the San Francisco-based company established itself as a marketplace for visual communication. The platform connects a community of over 1,000 artists with users and major brands, facilitating the creation and sharing of high-quality digital stickers across leading messaging applications.
The core of the business is a platform that simplifies the creation, publication, and promotion of sticker packs within instant messengers. This model serves a dual-sided market: it provides artists a space to monetize their designs and offers consumers a vast library of expressive content. The company's revenue streams are derived from its partnerships with major technology companies and collaborations with global brands. Strategic partners include Microsoft, Samsung, and Viber, which integrate Sticker.place's content into their platforms. Furthermore, the company creates custom sticker packs for major brands such as Coca-Cola, Nestle, and Durex, leveraging stickers as a marketing tool.
Sticker.place gained early recognition after being featured by Apple on the App Store as a "Best Sticker Pack" in both 2016 and 2017 and was also ranked as the top sticker-related product on Product Hunt. The company secured approximately $404,000 in funding to fuel its development and expansion. While PitchBook now lists the company as 'Out of Business', its model showcased a distinct approach to monetizing visual content within the rapidly growing ecosystem of digital messaging.
