From humble beginnings in 1999, Slickdeals founder Van started the site in his dorm room at San Jose State University. It was the early days of e-commerce, and Van discovered there were tons of hacks, promotions, sales, coupons, and offers that could all be combined to save money and get the 'thrill of the deal!'

What started as a blog for Van to share his personal deal finds with friends, family and a small audience, soon started to gain a good reputation and a larger following. Later, when Van added forum functionality to the site, Slickdeals transformed into a large online community of deal seekers sharing with each other.

Twenty years later, Slickdeals has 11 million users, is the 8th largest shopping destination in the U.S. and has saved consumers more than $6.8 billion, all while staying true to its mission of helping shoppers win everywhere.

"Our users have helped one another uncover more than 5 million deals to date," said Josh Meyers, Slickdeals CEO. "Slickdeals would not be where it is today without our loyal community, and we're excited to celebrate this milestone anniversary together."
