Silbermann had trouble with the time it took to get Tote approved for sale on Apple’s App Store.

STARTING PINTEREST Although Silbermann thought Tote was a good idea, he never truly felt passionate about it. His new project, however, got his heart racing. He thought back to his love of collecting as a child and imagined what collections would look like on the Internet. No one had ever built a website showcasing collections before. This could be the first. At about the same time, Silbermann met Evan Sharp, who would later become the third co-founder of Pinterest. He was a talented architect working in New York, and as someone who had also been a collector in his childhood, he was interested in Silbermann’s ideas for the future of Pinterest. Sharp took over the engineering aspect of the job, and along with Sciarra, the trio formed a great team.
