Founded in 2016, iVS (Wise Video Solutions) provides a video advertising enablement platform that uses AI and ML to help publishers deliver, optimize, and monetize in-stream video inventory without ceding control to third-party video platforms. The product supports embedded, non-intrusive, targeted ads and operates an AVOD-style revenue model where income is earned from platforms or advertisers rather than users. iVS cites a client base that includes regional publishers such as ABS-CBN, The Manila Times, and Mothership, global media agencies like Publicis, Dentsu and IPG, and brands including Disney Plus, Netflix, and Spotify. The company reports serving more than 100 million unique visitors and delivering over one billion premium video ad impressions per month. Management plans to use new funding to expand into Japan and Australia and to hire additional talent, including senior leadership, to support that expansion. Since its prior financing in February 2019, iVS says its net income grew 537% despite pandemic-related disruptions.
