Elevate Your Potential Magazine
CEO David Karp: He is a web developer and internet entrepreneur who founded Tumblr, one of the internet’s fasting growing startups. He was fascinated with tumblelogs (short-form blogs) and wondered why one of the large blogging platform companies had not established their own. So in 2007, at the age of 21, he launched Tumblr from the bedroom of his mother’s apartment in New York.
The Tumblr platform lets its users curate pictures, videos and text in one place online. Karp’s vision is to have Tumblr be the world’s best tool for creative expression. His passion is to provide a platform with tools that people really want to use. In May 2013, Yahoo reached a deal to buy Tumblr for 1.1 billion dollars. As part of the deal deal, Karp remained CEO. According to Tumbr’s website, as of June 1, 2016, it hosted more than 297.9 million blogs.
