IAC builds companies. We are guided by curiosity, a questioning of the status quo, and a desire to invent or acquire new products and brands. From the single seed that started as IAC over two decades ago have emerged 10 public companies and generations of exceptional leaders. We will always evolve, but our basic principle of financially-disciplined opportunism will never change. IAC today operates Vimeo, Dotdash and Care.com, among many others, and also has majority ownership of ANGI Homeservices, which includes HomeAdvisor, Angie`s List and Handy. The company is headquartered in New York City and has business operations and satellite offices worldwide.

WePay started with a simple idea: an app that made it easy for friends to pool money for shared expenses like ski trips and club activities. Yet that simple idea wasn`t so simple to execute. It was 2008, and no payments system could easily and safely pool money from groups of people to pay out to others. So we built one. The team spent nearly two years negotiating contracts, dealing with regulators, and wrestling with bank integrations. We developed easy sign-up and frictionless checkout experiences. We also built one of the most advanced fraud detections systems around so we wouldn`t lose our shirts. And it worked. WePay started to get traction. There was just one problem.
