Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Berlin, Germany, GotPhoto (and its German brand, fotograf.de) is dedicated to making the lives of photographers easier and more efficient, helping them spend less time behind their desk and more time behind the lens. By enabling photographers to digitalize key parts of their workflow, including photo management, photo editing, marketing automation, payment, and order fulfilment, GotPhoto effectively powers the daily operations of photographers, allowing them to save significant time and effort across photo shoots. The Company – which has over 4,000 customers, primarily small to medium-sized businesses and “solopreneur” photographers, across the U.S., U.K., and DACH – has managed to build a strong reputation as a leading vertical software solution within the people photography segment across its core markets while being bootstrapped.
