## About

Based in New York, US, and founded in 2008, Stack Exchange Inc. is a knowledge-sharing platform for global developers and the technology community. Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky are the co-founders of the company. Prashanth Chandrasekar is the current CEO of the company. In June 2021, Prosus N.V., a portfolio company of Prosus Ventures, agreed to acquire Stack Exchange Inc. for approximately USD 1.8 billion.

The company’s products include the market-leading SaaS knowledge sharing and collaboration platform, 'Stack Overflow for Teams', in addition to advertising-focused 'Stack Overflow Advertising', career opportunities focused 'Stack Overflow Jobs', Stack overflow collectives, and recruitment focused 'Stack Overflow talent'. The company's products and tools help developers and technologists gain and share knowledge.

The company generates revenue by pricing its software packages, which include basic ($6 USD per teammate per month), business ($12 USD per teammate per month), and Enterprise (custom pricing).

Following the acquisition by Prosus, the company intends to accelerate its growth ambitions and expand its global footprint while also further scaling the company’s team products to position Stack Overflow at the center of product and technology development within major enterprises globally.
