It’s been launch city for a few big companies and new startups this week. Who’s had the very best week, possibly? That would be Aviary, a company that started out with a direct-to-consumer product that allowed people to beautify and share their photos. The company decided to switch gears and provide its tools to other apps and sites. Some people call it a pivot, but that word can be annoying. It was a pretty smart move, as Aviary now powers editing and filters for both Flickr’s brand-new iOS app and Twitter’s recent refresh. By focusing on editing photos and adding filters, the company can build great things that can be used by anyone who would like its feature set in their own app. I spoke with Aviary’s CEO and co-founder Avi Muchnick, whose name is all over this company, about what’s been going on. ——— TechCrunch: How did the relationship with Flickr get started? Avi Muchnick: We have known the folks at Flickr for a few years and have a great relationship with them, so they are familiar with our solutions. We first officially partnered with them by powering photo editing on Flickr.com in April earlier this year, and that integration was quite successful for everyone involved. So we worked with them again to power the photo editor in their new mobile app. TechCrunch: As a company, what are your goals? Avi Muchnick: Our mission is to democratize creativity. We want everyone in the world to feel artistic, no matter their skill level or talents. We’re going to accomplish that by providing our photo-editing SDK to every single app where people use photos to express themselves. TechCrunch: What things are coming along that are new? Will partners integrate them? Avi Muchnick: Unfortunately we can’t share the specifics about what’s coming up next but we are always working on innovative new features to take photos to the next level. We always develop new features with our partners’ needs in mind. We test out all new features in our showcase app (Photo Editor by Aviary), which gives partners a chance to see our full feature set, so they can decide which elements they would like to adopt. TechCrunch: Do you have fans and users who respect your “behind-the-scenes” nature? Avi Muchnick: Yes. We actually used to have a web-based creative suite which millions of people loved to use, and we were reallySource: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/4sjR2yXvfQ0/
