????StumbleUpon公司 ????2001年，蓋瑞特?坎普和杰夫?史密斯共同創立了這家公司。這家內容發現服務商開啟了一個全新的理念。“我們正在努力成為您的互聯網遙控器，幫助您設定接下來看什么，”坎普去年這樣告訴《財富》雜志。2007年，兩位創始人決定將公司以7,500萬美元賣給eBay。但在經歷了用戶增長放緩以及越來越難以吸引優秀人才之后，坎普、史密斯和一些風投公司(包括Accel Partners和First Round Capital)買回了這家公司。據報道，交易金額僅為2,900萬美元。 |
????StumbleUpon ????Co-founded in 2001 by Garrett Camp and Geoff Smith, the content discovery service started as a novel idea. "We were trying to be your remote control for the Web, the thing that helps you figure out what to look at next," Camp told Fortune last year. In 2007, the two decided to sell their venture to eBay for $75 million. But after user growth slowed and talent became harder to come by, Camp, Smith, and a group of venture capital firms, including Accel Partners and First Round Capital, bought the company back for a reported $29 million. |
