About

One of the two dominant global native advertising and content recommendation platforms on the open web, alongside Outbrain

Taboola is a publicly traded advertising technology company headquartered in New York City, founded in 2007 by Adam Singolda, that operates a digital advertising platform connecting advertisers with audiences across a network of publisher websites and digital properties. Audience targeting capabilities include Predictive Audiences, which uses AI and machine learning to identify new user segments from existing conversion data, as well as contextual targeting based on page content — all functioning independently of third-party cookies. For publishers, Taboola offers monetization, AI-driven content personalization, push-notification re-engagement, and audience-insight tools. Thousands of businesses advertise directly through Realize, Taboola's ad platform, reaching approximately 600 million daily active users, while publishers such as NBC News and Yahoo, and OEMs including Samsung and Xiaomi, use Taboola's technology to grow their audiences and revenue. In a notable commercial partnership, Taboola signed a 30-year exclusive agreement with Yahoo to power native advertising across all of Yahoo's digital properties globally, including Yahoo Finance, Yahoo Sports, Yahoo News, AOL, and Engadget.
