History
The company was initially founded in April 2013 as Instacanvas, a service to print Instagram photographs on canvas. In October 2013, it rebranded itself as Twenty20, changing its focus to become a crowdsourced stock photography marketplace for social media advertising campaigns. Along with Series A round funding, they announced in February 2015 they had over 45 million photographs. The service ended its beta test in March 2015. The company handles legal issues in-house and focuses on authenticity, which they have cited as desirable to millennials. Joining is free for photographers, who share the revenue with Twenty20. Twenty20 offers both à la carte and subscription-based access to advertisers. ABC News described the most popular images as those that "show healthy lifestyles, modern workplaces and scenes from everyday life".
