Envato operates a group of digital marketplaces that sell creative assets for web designers, graphic designers, marketers and video producers including website themes, graphics and templates, video, audio, photography and 3D models.[3] It has over 2 million active buyers and sellers and over 10 million community members, along with over 5 million items for sale.[4] Its highest-trafficked marketplace, ThemeForest, is the 408 most visited site in the world according to Alexa.[5]

Envato was founded in 2006 by Collis Ta'eed, Cyan Claire, and Jun Rung.[6] It is headquartered in Melbourne, Australia.[7]

History[edit]

Collis Ta'eed, Cyan Ta'eed and Jun Rung founded Envato in 2006 in Sydney, Australia.[8] Initially started as a lifestyle business that would allow the founders to work and travel, Envato grew beyond the founders’ initial expectations, following the rapid growth trajectory typical of a successful tech startup.[9] The company now employs over 500 people, many of whom work from Envato’s head office in Melbourne, Australia.[10]

Prior to founding Envato, Ta'eed grew up in Papua New Guinea, eventually moving to Australia to study mathematics and computer science. While at high school he befriended Jun Rung who studied design at University. Rung introduced Ta'eed to design, which quickly became a passion. Ta'eed soon left behind mathematics and computer science to focus on graphic design, teaching himself via online tutorials, magazines and design books, an experience which would later provide the inspiration for Envato's online learning service, Tuts+.[11][12]

  • Simply modifying copyrighted text is not sufficient to avoid copyright infringement—if the original copyright violation cannot be cleanly removed or the article reverted to a prior version, it is best to write the article from scratch. (See Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing.)
  • For license compliance, any content used from the original article must be properly attributed; if you use content from the original, please leave a note at the top of your rewrite saying as much. You may duplicate non-infringing text that you had contributed yourself.
  • It is always a good idea, if rewriting, to identify the point where the copyrighted content was imported to Wikipedia and to check to make sure that the contributor did not add content imported from other sources. When closing investigations, clerks and administrators may find other copyright problems than the one identified. If this material is in the proposed rewrite and cannot be easily removed, the rewrite may not be usable.
