The company was founded under the name ePrize in 1999 by Josh Linkner.

In July 2011, ePrize acquired the CRM division Apollo Data Technologies and in January 2012 acquired Cellit, a mobile solutions company. In August 2012, ePrize was acquired by Catterton Partners, a private equity firm with a focus on the middle market consumer sector.

Other notable acquisitions include the January 2013 ePrize acquisition of Mozes, a mobile, cross platform engagement tool for live events and the May 2013 acquisition of Promotions.com.

In January 2014, ePrize launched a rebrand, becoming HelloWorld, Inc. in order to expand beyond its origins as an online sweepstakes company.[1]
