WonderHowTo is a community-developed instructional video guide website launched on January 30, 2008.[4] WonderHowTo acts as both a directory and search engine for how-to videos on the web. The free-access website is privately owned and operated by Wonder How To, Inc.

WonderHowTo was founded in 2006 by Stephen Chao and Michael Goedecke.[5] Backed by Cambridge, Massachusetts based General Catalyst Partners,[6] WonderHowTo.com launched as the world's largest free how-to video resource with almost 90,000 entries, hitting the 100,000th mark in less than two months.[5] By March 2008, the site’s audience grew to 300,000 monthly unique visitors and 800,000 by July (source: Google Analytics).[7] Partner Scripps Networks contributes instructional segments as well as handling advertising for the site.[8][9]

Employing both human and automated curation, the how-to supersite aggregates and organizes links to thousands of videos featured on other popular how-to video site publishers, as well as specialized collections of how-to video from niche-targeted sites and servers worldwide. WonderHowTo is headquartered in Santa Monica, California.[5]

Partners

On October 7, 2008, WonderHowTo signed a syndication partnership deal with VideoJug. Under the terms of the agreement, VideoJug will provide the video content to the website in return for licence fees and/or a cut of ad revenues.[10]
