About Reddit

Reddit is an American social news, web content rating, and discussion website. The idea and development of the website came from then college roommates at the University of Virginia Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian in 2005. They launched Reddit in June 2005, and in November the same year, the team expanded to include Christopher Slowe.

On October 31, 2006, Huffman and Ohanian sold Reddit to Conde Nast Publications for a reported $10 million - $20 million, and the team moved to San Francisco.

Reddit grabbed investors' attention after traders on the subreddit r/WallStreetBets led to the rise of meme stocks like AMC and GameStop in early 2021.

We can name Khaira Capital, Fidelity Management and Research Company, Tencent, Sequoia Capital among its investors.
