Founded in 2006, the Toronto-based Wattpad has raised $66.8 million in funding from investors such as August Capital and Golden Venture Partners.

In June, the website kicked off a development partnership with broadcast giant Turner.
Before that, Wattpad partnered with major players in entertainment, including United Talent Agency, Paramount Pictures and TV5 Networks (a Filipino commercial television network).
Studios including 20th Century Fox and Universal have even utilized Wattpad to promote some of their biggest films, including Fox's The Fault in Our Stars andUniversal's The Purge: Anarchy.

Programming from UCP includes Mr. Robot, Suits, The Magicians, The Royals and Difficult People.
“At UCP we’re always looking for ways to find untapped, unsigned, talent and budding writers from around the U.S. and world,” said Dawn Olmstead, executive vice president of development for Universal Cable Productions. “Enter Wattpad -- an amazing global storytelling platform that not only allows us access to great stories, but also real time data on what is trending, shared, reviewed and resonating with readers."
