The site aggregates content from various online educational and instructional resources (such as courses, articles, and videos), which can be filtered by subjects and topics, course cost, and other factors. Curiosity originally founded by Gabe Vehovsky, Discovery Communications chief of digital strategy and digital businesses. He saw Curiosity as a "vertically centric marketplace" for online learning.[1] In November 2014, Curiosity was spun out of Discovery with Vehovsky as CEO; Discovery remains a content partner for the service. At the same time, the company raised $6 million in a Series A funding round from a number of Chicago-based investors, including Pritzker Group Venture Capital, Origin Ventures, Chicago Ventures, and Corazon Capital.[2][3][4][5] References1. ^{{cite news |title=Discovery unveils Curiosity.com to inspire everyday learning |first=Rebecca |last=Grant |date=January 14, 2014 |work=VentureBeat |url=https://venturebeat.com/2014/01/14/discovery-unveils-curiosity-com-to-inspire-everyday-learning-exclusive/ }} {{Edu-website-stub}}2. ^{{cite news |title=Former Match CEO Sam Yagan takes the helm at ShopRunner |first=Amina |last=Elahi |date=July 12, 2016 |work=Chicago Tribune |url=http://www.chicagotribune.com/bluesky/originals/ct-former-match-ceo-sam-yagan-shoprunner-bsi-20160712-story.html }} 3. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.chicagotribune.com/g00/bluesky/originals/chi-curiosity-spinoff-funding-discovery-communications-bsi-20141111-story.html|title=Chicago-based Curiosity spins off from Discovery, raises $6 million|last=Elahi|first=Amina|work=Chicago Tribune|access-date=2018-03-07|language=en-US}} 4. ^{{cite news |title=Discovering the value of the ‘corporate’ entrepreneur |first=Gabriel |last=Vehovsky |date=February 1, 2016 |work=Kellogg Insight |url=http://insight.kellogg.northwestern.edu/article/discovering-the-value-of-the-corporate-entrepreneur}} 5. ^{{cite news |title=Six venture capitalists reveal the best pitch of 2014 |first=Monica |last=Ginsburg |date=December 6, 2014 |work=Crain’s Chicago Business |url=http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20141206/ISSUE02/312069997/six-venture-capitalists-reveal-the-best-pitch-of-2014}} 1 : Educational websites |
