Imgur was profitable at the time, generating revenue from Pro subscriptions and advertising. In April 2014, five years after it was founded, Imgur raised $40 million from Andreessen Horowitz and Andreessen Horowitz's Lars Dalgaard joined Imgur's board. On September 27, 2021, Imgur announced that they were acquired by MediaLab AI, Inc., a holding company of internet brands. In 2016, Reddit introduced native image hosting, causing a notable decrease in Imgur submissions on the site. As of June 2013 it had 10 employees, and won the Best Bootstrapped Startup award at TechCrunch's 2012 Crunchies Awards. In January 2011, the company moved from Ohio to San Francisco. Imgur used three different hosting providers in the first year before settling on Voxel, then switching to Amazon Web Services in late 2011. Display ads were introduced in May 2009 sponsored images and self-service ads were introduced in 2013. In the beginning, Imgur relied on donations to help with the web hosting costs. 'It took off almost instantly, jumping from a thousand hits per day to a million total page views in the first five months.' In October 2012, Imgur expanded its functionality to allow users to directly share images to Imgur instead of requiring images to gain enough attraction through other social media sites like Reddit to show up on the popular image gallery. Imgur was created as a response to the usability problems encountered in similar services. The company was started in 2009 in Athens, Ohio as Alan Schaaf's side project while he attended Ohio University for computer science.
