StumbleUpon - History
1 StumbleUpon was founded in November 2002 by Garrett Camp, Geoff Smith, Justin LaFrance
and Eric Boyd during Garrett's time in post-graduate school in Calgary, Canada. The idea of creating a company was established before
the content: of the five or six ideas for products, StumbleUpon was chosen. Garrett describes in a BBC interview the moment for him in which he felt the company had really taken off: When we passed the half a million
mark (in registered users), it seemed more real.
