ContextWeb, Inc. was founded in 2000 and launched the ADSDAQ Exchange in 2005. It is the only online exchange where both advertisers and publishers have complete control. The exchange’s patent-pending, page-level contextual technology offers advertisers efficient pricing and extensive reach, making inventory on the exchange “brand-safe” and comparable to a site-specific or portal buy.
The ADSDAQ Exchange ranks among the top 20 ad-supported properties, according to comScore Media Metrix, and reaches +105 million monthly unique visitors (August, 2008). The exchange includes more than 400 advertisers, including all of the top 10 marketing organizations, and more than 7,000 publishers. In 2007, Deloitte’s New York Region Technology Fast 50 recognized ContextWeb as the 17th fastest growing company in the New York area. The company’s investors include leading venture capital firms Draper Fisher Jurvetson (“DFJ”), DFJ Gotham Ventures, DFJ New England, Updata Partners, Investor Growth Capital and Gold Hill Capital.
