Caterina Fake is an American businesswoman. She is best known for co-founding the websites Flickr and Hunch.
In the 1990s, Fake was Art Director at Salon.com, and heavily involved in the development of online community, social software and personal publishing. In 1997, she took a job managing the community forums of Netscape.
In the summer of 2002, Fake co-founded Ludicorp in Vancouver with Stewart Butterfield. The company developed a massively multiplayer online role-playing game called Game Neverending. The game did not launch but Fake and Butterfield started a new product called Flickr that became one of the world's most popular photosharing websites. Flickr was then acquired by Yahoo! in 2005. Flickr became part of a vanguard of so-called Web 2.0 sites, integrating features such as social networking, community open APIs, tagging, and algorithms that surfaced the most popular content. After the acquisition, Fake took a job at Yahoo!, where she ran the Technology Development group, known for its Hack Yahoo! program, a stimulus to innovation and creativity, and Brickhouse, a rapid development environment for new products. Fake resigned from Yahoo on June 13, 2008.
In 2009, Fake co-founded the website Hunch with entrepreneur Chris Dixon. The site is building the "taste graph" of the Internet, mapping every user on the Internet to every entity, and their affinity for that entity. It launched in June 2009. It was acquired by eBay for a reported $80 million in November 2011. Pinwheel launched in a limited beta in February 2012, and renamed to Findery in July 2012.
Fake has won many awards, including BusinessWeek's Best Leaders of 2005, Forbes 2005 eGang, Fast Company's Fast 50, and Red Herring's 20 Entrepreneurs under 35. In 2006, she was named to the Time 100, Time Magazine's list of the world's 100 most influential people, appearing on the cover of Newsweek that same year.
In May 2009 she received an Honorary Doctorate from the Rhode Island School of Design.
