JustSeen is not just about posting a photo; it’s about telling stories with photos. Every post on JustSeen can be the start, or part, of a great story.

Why did you choose this particular idea and concept to build your start-up on?:
Through the desire to learn more about the contact behind single photo posts, the idea of JustSeen’s visual storytelling was created to allow users to build photo collections that tell the full story.
