  • Launched in 2015, Vero is an increasingly popular photo sharing app alternative to Instagram.
  • Downloads recently spiked from 150K to 3 million per week.
  • Instagram users annoyed with feed algorithms and ads are switching.
  • Many were alarmed to learn that Vero’s co-founder/CEO is Lebanese billionaire Ayman Hariri.
