Growing up, Silbermann looked up to technology and business pioneers like Steve Jobs.

DIGITAL COLLECTIONS As a child, Silbermann loved collecting things. Two of his favorite items to collect were insects and stamps. “Collecting tells a lot about who you are,” he explained. Before the invention of Pinterest, Silbermann said he noticed that “there wasn’t a place to share that side of who you are.” Pinterest users can use the website to “pin” their interests on a virtual board, a little like a stamp or insect collection.
