Insta360

Jingkang Liu (JK) is the CEO and founder of leading 360-degree camera maker Insta360. After building his own live-streaming platform while studying at Nanjing University, JK started looking for ways to improve the experience—when audiences watched a live-streamed event online, he wanted them to feel like they were really there.

That’s what led him to start exploring the potential of 360 cameras. Soon after, he recruited some of his brightest classmates and moved to Shenzhen to found Insta360.

Insta360’s products include plug-and-play cameras that allow people to start sharing immersive 360 photos and video straight from their phones, as well as cutting-edge professional cameras that are pushing forward the VR film industry.
