ScoopShot:众包式图片摄影平台是芬兰赫尔辛基是一家芬兰的初创企业，成立于 2011 年。它提供的按需众包摄影市场可让用户上传和出售照片、视频、目击证人报告及其他有价值和时效性的内容，与图片社、公民新闻类型的新闻服务等形成竞争关系。
Scoopshot 他们成功募集到 390 万美元 A 轮融资，将继续向全球拓展他们的图片众包服务。Scoopshot 利用他们不断壮大的 35 万用户，为超过 60 家媒体和出版社提供新闻图片。这些媒体包括新闻集团以及加州报纸出版商协会，绿色和平组织和诺基亚也曾通过 Scoopshot 的服务来应对突发事件。Scoopshot 的移动应用支持 Android、iOS 及 Windows Phone 等多个版本。
“过去 3 年的发展，Scoopshot 毫无疑问已经成为行业领导者——通过众包服务为品牌商和出版商提供他们所需的图片。” Scoopshot 投资人之一的克里斯·巴查克(Chris Barchak)说，Scoopshot 很可能颠覆现有数字图片的销售模式，原因是他们的报价一般都可以承担，而服务又具有特定的委托性质——风景照还是人物照?直接向他们开口就是了。
Scoopshot定位为素材、时效摄影等的反向市场。为出售的图片增加按需的元素。买家可以布置本地、国内及国际类的照片“作业任务”，再由用户根据要求拍摄或上传买家所需的照片，而 Scoopshot 则从成交中抽佣。
Scoopshot 创始人和 CEO 佩特里·拉赫亚(Petri Rahja)说这笔投资有利于强化 Scoopshot 的销售和营销队伍，同时拓展美国市场——没错，他们打算在这里挑战传统的新闻图片市场。
