ScoopShot:眾包式圖片攝影平臺是芬蘭赫爾辛基是一家芬蘭的初創企業，成立於 2011 年。它提供的按需眾包攝影市場可讓使用者上傳和出售照片、視訊、目擊證人報告及其他有價值和時效性的內容，與圖片社、公民新聞型別的新聞服務等形成競爭關係。
Scoopshot 他們成功募集到 390 萬美元 A 輪融資，將繼續向全球拓展他們的圖片眾包服務。Scoopshot 利用他們不斷壯大的 35 萬用戶，為超過 60 家媒體和出版社提供新聞圖片。這些媒體包括新聞集團以及加州報紙出版商協會，綠色和平組織和諾基亞也曾通過 Scoopshot 的服務來應對突發事件。Scoopshot 的移動應用支援 Android、iOS 及 Windows Phone 等多個版本。
“過去 3 年的發展，Scoopshot 毫無疑問已經成為行業領導者——通過眾包服務為品牌商和出版商提供他們所需的圖片。” Scoopshot 投資人之一的克里斯·巴查克(Chris Barchak)說，Scoopshot 很可能顛覆現有數字圖片的銷售模式，原因是他們的報價一般都可以承擔，而服務又具有特定的委託性質——風景照還是人物照?直接向他們開口就是了。
Scoopshot定位為素材、時效攝影等的反向市場。為出售的圖片增加按需的元素。買家可以佈置本地、國內及國際類的照片“作業任務”，再由使用者根據要求拍攝或上傳買家所需的照片，而 Scoopshot 則從成交中抽傭。
Scoopshot 創始人和 CEO 佩特里·拉赫亞(Petri Rahja)說這筆投資有利於強化 Scoopshot 的銷售和營銷隊伍，同時拓展美國市場——沒錯，他們打算在這裡挑戰傳統的新聞圖片市場。
