Overview

DoubleVerify (DV) is an American technology company that provides media measurement, data, and analytics software for the digital advertising ecosystem. Founded in 2008 by Oren Netzer and Alex Liverant, the company is headquartered in New York City and is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol DV. DoubleVerify's platform enables advertisers, agencies, and publishers to verify the viewability, authenticity, and contextual suitability of digital ad impressions across connected TV, mobile, desktop, and social media environments. Its core offerings include ad verification, fraud prevention, viewability measurement, brand safety and suitability controls, and campaign analytics. The company serves many of the world's largest brands and media platforms, positioning itself as a neutral third-party measurement authority in the complex programmatic advertising supply chain. DoubleVerify went public in April 2021 through an IPO on the NYSE. The company has expanded through acquisitions, including the purchase of OpenSlate (social video analytics) in 2021 and Meetrics (European ad verification) in 2022, to strengthen its global footprint and cross-platform measurement capabilities. DoubleVerify competes with other ad verification and measurement firms such as Integral Ad Science (IAS) and Oracle's Moat (now part of Oracle Advertising). Its solutions are used by advertisers to ensure their digital media investments are effective, efficient, and safe.

History

DoubleVerify was founded in 2008 by Oren Netzer and Alex Liverant in New York City. The company emerged during a period of rapid growth in programmatic advertising, when advertisers began demanding greater transparency and accountability in digital media buying. DoubleVerify's initial focus was on verifying ad impressions to combat fraud and ensure that ads were actually seen by human users. In 2017, DoubleVerify was acquired by Providence Equity Partners, a private equity firm, in a deal valued at approximately $200 million. Under Providence's ownership, DoubleVerify expanded its product suite and global reach. In April 2021, DoubleVerify went public on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol DV, raising approximately $416 million in its IPO. The company continued to grow through strategic acquisitions: in 2021, it acquired OpenSlate, a social video analytics company, for $150 million; in 2022, it acquired Meetrics, a European ad verification firm, to bolster its presence in Europe. DoubleVerify has also invested in connected TV (CTV) measurement and launched solutions for emerging platforms such as TikTok and Amazon. As of the mid-2020s, DoubleVerify remains a leading independent ad verification and measurement provider, competing primarily with Integral Ad Science (IAS). The company's technology is integrated with major demand-side platforms (DSPs), supply-side platforms (SSPs), and publishers, enabling real-time verification and optimization of digital ad campaigns.
