Longboard Media operates an advertising network managing inventory for more than 30 online properties, including thefind.com, shop.com, overstock.com, buzzillions.com and become.com. Founded in 2008 by former eBay employees Scott Engler and Jim Barkow, the company was formerly bootstrapped and has been profitable since inception. Its network reached a potential audience of over 63 million people and served more than 3 billion paid impressions during the 2010 holiday season. The company grew its publisher base by more than 40% in 2011. Longboard likens itself to a "Glam Media" for e-commerce sites and focuses on ad targeting for shopping publishers. It plans to use the Series A proceeds to expand staff and further invest in its ad targeting technology.
