Ventures

StumbleUpon

StumbleUpon is the first web-discovery platform and personalized recommendation engine, co-founded by Garrett in 2002. In 2006 StumbleUpon relocated to San Francisco upon receiving its first round of funding from Silicon Valley angels. In 2007 StumbleUpon was acquired by eBay for $75M and later spun-out in 2009, becoming an independent company again. Garrett grew the company to over one hundred employees and over 25 million registered users as its founding CEO before stepping down in mid 2012 to work on other ventures.
