Meet a local group of tech startup founders and funders for a networking dinner with Garrett Camp, co-founder of the ‘social search’ phenomenon StumbleUpon — at Calgary’s inaugural STIRR Canada Event.

This dinner is an invitation-only event.
Stay tuned for future, larger-scale, Tech Mixer events.

Garrett was completing his Masters degree in Software Engineering at the University of Calgary when he and some friends co-founded StumbleUpon in 2001.

In May of 2007, eBay acquired the company for US$75 million. By then, millions of users were “stumbling” across great content on the Internet and sharing their finds. TechCrunch recently reported that StumbleUpon has registered its five millionth user.
