Canada's StackAdapt snaps up $235M for its AI-based programmatic platform | TechCrunch
Briefly

StackAdapt, a Toronto-based programmatic advertising startup, has raised $235 million in equity funding led by Teachers' Venture Growth. Though substantial, this round is smaller compared to other recent Canadian funding rounds. The investment reflects broader trends in the market, where funding volumes have dropped, but AI-focused companies still attract significant capital. Founded in 2014, StackAdapt began as a bootstrapped startup and has seen substantial investments, indicating strong local support for its growth. The company focuses on leveraging AI in digital advertising, highlighting its relevance in current industry trends.
Although it's not the largest funding round for a Canadian startup, StackAdapt's $235 million raises significant attention in the tech investment landscape.
The total number of deals in 2024 was down compared to the previous year, with AI startups taking a larger share of investments.
