Overview

Phybbit develops SpiderAF, an AI-driven tool that detects online advertising fraud such as fake impressions, clicks, and conversions. SpiderAF supports all ad formats including banner ads, mobile ads, affiliate ads, and listing ads. In December 2018 the company created a multi-business "Shared Blacklist" (SBL), a consolidated database of ad fraud information shared among companies and services. Current clients include Japanese ad networks, agencies, and advertisers, and the company plans broader applications and worldwide expansion. Phybbit was founded in 2011 by Satoko Ohtsuki, is based in Tokyo, and currently has a team of 25 members. The company raised ¥320 million (US$2.9 million) in Series A funding to boost marketing and personnel recruitment to expand its customer base globally.
