Series C Funding Round Entrenches DoubleVerify as the Global Standard for Online Media Verification and Compliance
New York (August 30, 2011) - DoubleVerify (www.doubleverify.com), the pioneer and worldwide leader in online media verification and compliance, today announced that it received $33 million in financing led by JMI Equity and Institutional Venture Partners (IVP), two of the premier later stage venture capital and private equity firms in the United States focused on investing in rapidly-growing software, Internet and business services companies. Other participants in the round included previous investors Blumberg Capital and First Round Capital. In conjunction with the financing, Bob Nye of JMI Equity and Dennis Phelps of Institutional Venture Partners have joined the companys board of directors. This investment brings the companys cumulative financing to $47 million.
Since the companys launch in 2008, DoubleVerify has developed the standard for online media verification for advertisers, agencies, ad networks, DSPs, exchanges and publishers. Using its proprietary, patent-pending technology, DoubleVerify has driven accountability and transparency for the online advertising ecosystem by tracking actual delivery of campaigns to verify that they are in compliance with the advertisers insertion order terms, conditions and buying guidelines. DoubleVerify is utilized by more than 200 of the leading Fortune 500 marketers, all six of the major agency holding companies, and is accepted and integrated with all major publishers and sell-side platforms.
Despite the growing complexity of online advertising, DoubleVerify has bridged the gap between what advertisers expect and what ad selling channels deliver, raising the accountability, trust and ROI in the industry, said Oren Netzer, CEO of DoubleVerify. We are excited about the new addition of JMI Equity to our core group of investors. Their pedigree and track record for growing digital media will be an asset in further establishing our leadership in online media verification and will help us drive more innovation in online measurement, advertising accountability and planning to ensure the trust and viability of this segment.
DoubleVerifys growth is exemplified by multiple accomplishments this year:
DoubleVerify verifies an average of more than 40 billion impressions per month
The bi-yearly Trust Index highlighted the most compliant ad networks, DSPs and agency trading desks to partner with for buys
Within the past 12 months, the company has jumped from 30 employees to 160 today, with 50 more being added to offices in New York, Israel, and London by the end of the year
BrandShield 2.0 for ad blocking and Navigator for ad networks and exchanges represent continued innovation of tools and technology for the variety of companies in the segment
DoubleVerify created the online media verification category, and has successfully grown to become the leader in that category, said Bob Nye, Vice President at JMI Equity. The company has been extremely successful in developing and utilizing new solutions to build trust and transparency for companies in the online advertising ecosystem. It has the potential to expand into all aspects of media measurement, accountability and compliance across the globe.
We have watched DoubleVerify rapidly become a pivotal part of the online advertising ecosystem, creating real accountability and trust among brand marketers, agencies, networks and publishers, said Dennis Phelps, General Partner at Institutional Venture Partners. We are proud to be part of DoubleVerifys rapid ascent as it brings forth more innovation that benefits all parties in this space.
Verification is now an integral part of many media buys, which is largely driven by DoubleVerify. Advertisers who work with DoubleVerify use its technology to verify virtually every impression in their online advertising campaigns. The companys solutions have become ubiquitous both in the United States and Europe, with more potential expansion into other global regions. The new funding will help fuel DoubleVerifys global growth and allow it to make strategic acquisitions that will help enhance its product set and strengthen its market leadership.
The online advertising industry is innovating at a much faster rate than most technology segments, said David Bell, former CEO and Chairman of The Interpublic Group and current member of DoubleVerifys Board of Directors. This is why DoubleVerifys technology and solutions are essential in driving the growth of online advertising, helping it become more efficient and effective through online media verification and compliance.
