StumbleUpon was a web discovery platform that allowed users to discover and rate web pages, photos, videos, and news articles. Founded in 2001 by Garrett Camp, Geoff Smith, Justin LaFrance, and Eric Boyd, the service used collaborative filtering and social networking principles to help users find content tailored to their interests through a simple "stumble" button.
At its peak, StumbleUpon reached over 25 million registered users and became one of the largest sources of social media traffic to websites. The company received backing from notable investors including Accel Partners, August Capital, and First Round Capital. However, facing increasing competition from Facebook, Twitter, and other social platforms, StumbleUpon shut down in June 2018, with founder Garrett Camp launching a spiritual successor called Mix.
