Jerusalem-Based Content Creation Startup Lightricks to Set Up Shop in Europe

Jerusalem-based content creation startup Lightricks Ltd. is setting up shop in Europe with a new London office, the company announced Tuesday. Like the company’s existing New York office, the London location will be used for business development and research. Lightricks currently has over 100 employees and is looking to hire designers, developers, and programmers to man the new office.

Amit Shabtay, formerly a product manager at Lightricks, will head the London office.

Founded in 2013, Lightricks develops content creation smartphone apps. The company’s first app Facetune, which allows users to touch up their selfies, won an Apple Design Award in 2016.

In 2015, Lightricks raised $10 million from Viola Ventures.
