Ingenio is an online marketplace and communications platform that connects consumers with independent advisors across a portfolio of consumer‑enthusiast and media brands (Keen.com, PsychicCenter.com, LiveAdvice.com, Bitwine.com, Horoscope.com, Astrology.com, SunSigns.com, Horoscopo.com, etc.). Its proprietary web, voice and mobile technologies and community tools have enabled more than 45 million conversations since 1999. Alpine Investors carved Ingenio out of YP LLC (an AT&T subsidiary) and invested in 2013, after which the company completed a standalone infrastructure build and generated consistent operating results. Since 2013 Ingenio has more than tripled revenue, grown headcount from 53 to over 140 (over 160% increase), and more than quadrupled earnings over the last eight years. The company has expanded via two acquisitions (Horoscope.com and Barges Technologies) and launched products including a patented Best Match technology and the Keen mobile app. Near term plans specified by Alpine and management include optimizing consumer acquisition, expanding reach through M&A, and executing product innovations to support future growth.
