Method

Later begins in Vancouver in 2013 as Latergramme, an Instagram scheduling tool founded by Cindy Chen, Ian MacKinnon, Roger Patterson and Matt Smith, and grows to nearly seven million creators and small businesses paying subscriptions for scheduling, link in bio and analytics. Mavrck acquires it on April 29, 2022 using part of a 135 million dollar Summit Partners round, and the merged company takes the Later name with offices in Vancouver, Boston and Denver, pairing a creator facing tool with an enterprise influencer marketing platform.

People: Cindy Chen, Ian MacKinnon, Roger Patterson, Matt Smith, Scott Sutton
