WOWIO, Inc. was a Los Angeles–based digital media company founded in 2006 that offered ad-supported Ebooks and later expanded into webcomics communities and electronic publishing platforms (including WEvolt, Drunk Duck, and Pop Galaxy). After a series of acquisitions and ownership changes, the company shifted its focus in 2017 toward investments in real estate, hospitality, and entertainment ventures. As of 2018, WOWIO had deregistered its common stock and become largely inactive.
