Dispo

På svenska → Updated: 2026-05-28

Photo-sharing app that mimics disposable cameras: take photo now, see it first the next morning. David Dobrik-related startup 2020. Mass drama 2021 after Dobrik controversies → Spark Capital dropped investment.

"Roll develops at 9am every day" — film-camera-simulation aesthetic. Friend-only feed, no likes/comments by design. 2020-2021 Y-Combinator darling, valuation $200M+. Dobrik allegations 2021 (his Vlog-Squad sexual misconduct) → mass resignations, investor pullback, brand damage. Survived as smaller team, lives on 2025 but not mainstream. Trend position: anti-Instagram-perfection, embrace-imperfection aesthetic. Competitor: BeReal (more mainstream take on "authentic" photo).
