A mission-driven media company headquartered in New York, New York, Upworthy's quest is to "change what the world pays attention to." The company was founded in 2012 and publishes video, graphics, and other content that users can share to enlighten and entertain friends and colleagues. With a mission to be both meaningful and awesome, Upworthy provides substantial information with a goal to make videos outlining important issues "as viral as a video of some idiot surfing off his roof."

As an employer, Upworthy posts flexible jobs in various disciplines and "highly values all aspects of diversity." As such, the company encourages individuals from varied backgrounds to apply, including nontraditional candidates and those who have experience with "storytelling on social media." In the past, flexible Upworthy jobs have been offered in the form of part-time and full-time, remote jobs; part-time, freelance jobs; and short-term, remote assignments. Past vacancies indicate that the company's remote work is available to applicants throughout the U.S. and worldwide, with some positions targeted at home-based workers that reside in specific cities or regions as needed.

In 2017, Upworthy joined forces with GOOD, a social impact company and global media brand. The companies merged to become "the leader in social good media and consulting" but will retain their own branding. Steadfast in the belief that "we're all part of the same story," the two companies share a mission to "live well" and "do good," working in collaboration to push the world forward. GOOD and Upworthy's combined statistics entail more than 33 million monthly visitors, 1.2 billion annual video views, 16 million social media subscribers, and 276 million monthly social media viewers.
