Since its inception in 2009, the company has grown on pace with the now-$5B RTB industry, having been included as an alpha partner in Facebook’s launch of the Facebook Exchange, and having been recently being named one of the AlwaysOn Global 250 Top Private Companies and an OnMedia Top 100 company in the United States.
