CarGurus is a car retail site that allows users to connect with local dealers in order to research and shop for a new or pre-owned vehicle. It was founded in 2006 by Langley Steinert, fresh off his stint as chairman of TripAdvisor, which he co-founded. While it was initially a message forum for car enthusiasts, interest from car dealers prompted the company to change its strategy, leading to its current business model. The company is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and its current CEO is Jason Trevisan.
