A pioneer in CTV ad technology five years ago, and reaching more than 75 million households via integrations with Roku, Amazon Fire, Apple TV and Samsung TV, Innovid was also the first in the industry to be granted Media Rating Council (MRC) accreditation for video ad measurement in a connected TV environment (CTV), and earlier gained accreditation for video and companion display ad served impression tracking across desktop and mobile web, and for video ad viewability measurement on desktop.

With this funding, Innovid will further advance its end-to-end CTV platform creating a more efficient workflow, while solving industry measurement challenges and expanding its global footprint to meet the evolving needs of its international client base of brands, media and creative agencies, and publishers'. Hillel Moerman, Head of Goldman Sachs' Private Capital Investing group, adds: 'As an early mover in CTV with established inventory supply partners, Innovid is well positioned to capture the massive secular shift in CTV consumption'.
