Evan Sharp is cofounder and chief creative officer of visual bookmarking site Pinterest. Sharp met Ben Silbermann, Pinterest CEO and fellow cofounder, through a mutual friend while in Columbia University's architecture program. Each month, 175 million people use Pinterest to collect and post images related to fashion, travel, cooking and other interests. Pinterest raised $150 million in venture funding in June 2017, with investors valuing the company at $12.3 billion.
Sharp was an avid ultimate frisbee player during his time at the University of Chicago. Over the years, Sharp has collected rocks, coins, pencils, stickers and, as an architecture student, images, renderings and photographs.
