Innovid Raises $30M To Expand Global Operations, Ad Tech

The video advertising platform Innovid says that it has raised $30 million in a pre-IPO investing round, led by Goldman Sachs’ Private Capital Investing group.

The company says that it will use the cash influx to build out its global operations and further expand its presence in the connected TV (CTV) and over-the-top (OTT) advertising technology markets. As part of that expansion, the company plans to release a complete end-to-end CTV platform.

Hillel Moerman, head of Goldman Sachs’ Private Capital Investing group, stated that Goldman invested in Innovid because “as an early mover in CTV with established inventory supply partners, Innovid is well positioned to capture the massive secular shift in CTV consumption.”

Innovid has put a particular focus on interactivity in its platform, offering products that let consumers choose what ads they wanted to watch, as well as finding different ways to encourage engagement with ads.
