Minted history
Minted company history timeline
Naficy liked the idea of crowdsourcing, but this was in 2007 before sites like Kickstarter popularized the practice.
Having seen interesting art and design in her travels, as well as the art created by her own family members, she was intrigued in 2007 by the idea that there was hidden creative talent around the world whose work was not accessible to consumers and that the Internet could help surface.
Mariam Naficy founded Minted in 2007.
Naficy decided to run with the crowdsourcing and raise traditional venture capital, attracting $3.5 million from Ridge Ventures in 2008.
The company held its first "design challenge" in 2008, a save-the-date card design competition that attracted 66 entries.
Naficy was named one of the 25 Most Creative People in Business by Fast Company in 2013.
Minted’s model has led it to ink deals with upscale furnishing retailers like Pottery Barn Kids and West Elm, which has been selling wall art from Minted since 2014.
LinkedIn named Minted as one of 2014’s 10 Most In-Demand Start-Ups among job seekers.
Minted’s online stationery rival Shutterfly ($1.1 billion in 2017 revenue) and the greeting card giant Hallmark ($4 billion in 2017 revenue) have diversified into areas like school photo shoots and entertainment channels.
