What could be a more lofty goal than keeping college students connected through humor? Connected Ventures owns and operates CollegeHumor.com, which includes original videos, articles, and interactive features, as well as pictures and videos submitted by fans. The company earns most of its revenues through its BustedTees.com, which sells T-shirts that say things like "My other shirt has its collar up" and "What Would Ashton Do?" CollegeHumor was co-founded in 1999 by then college students Josh Abramson (University of Richmond) and Ricky Van Veen (Wake Forest) as a place to post pictures of themselves. In 2006 IAC/InterActiveCorp acquired a 51% stake and full voting control of Connected Ventures.
