One of theearly boomers in the SaaS audience management market, Demex has thisconcept of a “data bank” of audiences. It contains data collected fromvarious web properties and online ad campaigns, or the one coming fromthird-party data sellers. These sources are then used to better targetonline advertising at specific audiences.
New York-based Demdexwas founded in 2008. Its investors include First Round Capital andGenacast Ventures, Comcast’s seed venture arm. In 2008, the companyseeded US$ 1.5 million.
Aftercoming out of stealth mode in June 2009, in 2010, they received anotherUS$ 6 million in Series A funding, led by new investor Shasta Ventures.
