Mission

Upworthy draws massive amounts of attention to things that matter.

Every day, we tell positive, genuine, meaningful stories that are worth reading, watching and sharing with your friends.

Because we’re all part of the same story.

Our Story

The Internet was supposed to open doors to new ideas. But too often it’s the opposite.

The internet often narrows our world instead of broadening it. And fills it with a waterfall of empty stories that drown out the ones that matter most.

But sometimes a story opens a door to a new and better world. It might make you feel surprised, happy, inspired, motivated, even sad. But it's those stories that give us what we're missing. They connect us with each other. They are rocket fuel for empathy. They change our hearts, our minds and sometimes even, the world.

Upworthy tells those stories, and helps them break through. Stories that are worth your time - and that make the world a better place.
