Our take
Outbrain is a web advertising platform that displays what it describes as ‘chumboxes’ within the pages of many popular websites. Most Internet users will have encountered this recommended content when browsing articles.
Outbrain was sold to AOL for $363 million in 2007, as the nascent market for clickable ads grew. Outbrain’s main competitor is Taboola, and the two were on the verge of merging in an $850 million deal, before this collapsed in September 2020.
This digital ad agency is attempting to rival some of the biggest corporations on the planet, with both Google and Facebook heavily invested in this arena. Despite criticism for ads that resemble clickbait, Outbrain has attracted $194 million in funding from contributors such as Index Ventures, Carmel Ventures, Gemini Israel Funds, and GlenRock Israel.
Often regarded as an alternative to Google AdSense, Outbrain has continued to secure lucrative partnerships and release new features and products to its roster. It operates in over 55 countries, and supplies around 344 billion recommendations per month - strong evidence that it has cemented its place in the market.
