Quora

Quora is a social question-and-answer platform that enables users to ask questions and receive answers from a community of experts and enthusiasts. Founded in 2009 by Adam D'Angelo and Charlie Cheever, both former Facebook employees, Quora has grown to become a significant source of knowledge-sharing on the internet. The company is headquartered in Mountain View, California, and operates as a privately held entity without any known parent company or subsidiary ownership. Quora's mission is to democratize access to knowledge by connecting people with information and perspectives from around the world. Over the years, Quora has expanded its features, including the introduction of the Quora Partner Program and the launch of Poe, an AI chatbot platform. Despite facing challenges such as a data breach in 2018, Quora continues to evolve and maintain a strong user base, with over 400 million unique monthly visitors as of 2023. The company remains committed to its mission of sharing and growing the world's knowledge, fostering a community-driven environment where users can engage in meaningful discussions across a wide range of topics.
