What it is
Brand suitability and contextual alignment platform for walled-garden video and social advertising (YouTube, Meta, TikTok). Core technology is ViewIQ, a content categorization engine combining AI/ML/NLP/computer vision with human vetting to classify video content for suitability at scale, used to build inclusion and exclusion lists rather than relying on default platform brand-safety settings alone.
Funding & ownership
Received a growth investment from Truelink Capital, announced June 2025, alongside the appointment of a new North America CRO. Specific investment amount not disclosed.

Product architecture
- 01ViewIQ — scans and categorizes video content across 49 languages, claimed coverage over 90 trillion views. Detection inputs include title, viewership trend, description, subscriber count, historical performance and content/creator quality. Vendor-stated accuracy: 95%+ in language detection, 96%+ in content classification.
- 02Platform-specific application — YouTube (masthead, bumpers, skippable in-stream, Video Reach Campaign formats), Meta (in-stream, Reels, Feed placements with brand-suitable publisher and content blocklists layered on top of Meta's own default brand-safety settings), TikTok (hyper-contextual hashtag and trend-based targeting).
- 03Weather Sync targeting — contextual ad delivery based on user location and real-time weather conditions, a named, distinctive feature not common elsewhere in this category.
- 04Guaranteed-outcome pricing model — pricing locked before campaign launch, with outcome guarantees tied to pricing model (e.g. CPM guarantees reach/impressions, CPV guarantees ThruPlay/view-through, CPA/CPI/CPL guaranteed only after a successful CPM-rate test campaign).
