History
Picaboo was founded in 2002 by longtime friends, and Babson College classmates, Howard Field and Kevin McCurdy.[2] Series-A funding was secured from Kleiner Perkins and Softbank.[3] The first version of its photo editor was launched in 2005.[4] The name Picaboo was derived from the phrase "peekaboo," a common expression that brings smiles to people’s faces.[5] Originally available as a downloadable desktop application, Picaboo has since retired its desktop application for an exclusively browser-based flash application.[6] In December 2012, The Wall Street Journal rated Picaboo the top photo book creator in terms of finished product quality.[7] In June 2014 Picaboo claims to have printed its 2 millionth photo book.[8]

Picaboo’s direct-to-consumer product line includes: photo books, canvas prints, posters, photo panels, calendars, cards, phone cases and prints.[9] Picaboo customers can personalize their products by adding photos and captions. In September 2012, the company launched "Picaboo Yearbooks"; a multi-user web application for creating yearbooks and managing yearbook sales via an online storefront.[10]
