Outbrain Inc., a major clickbait provider, detailed plans for an initial public offering Tuesday, after filing confidentially in April.
The company that in 2020 “provided personalized content feeds and ads to approximately 1 billion monthly unique users,” had filed for a potential IPO in 2014.
In 2019, it agreed to be sold to Taboola Ltd., but that transaction was called off in 2020. In January, Taboola said it would merge with ION Acquisition Corp. 1, in a deal with an implied valuation of $2.6 billion.
Outbrain, which is profitable, had revenue of $767 million last year.
