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