AdKarma was founded in 2010 by Bobby Campbell, Ann Willhelm, Scott Braudis, and Ryan Gillespie in Columbia, Missouri.
Publishing companies sell ad space directly to advertisers but often spaces remain unsold. AdKarma sells the unsold ad spaces for the publishers.
The company acts as a liason between companies that want to advertise and websites that have space to sell.
In 2014 AdKarma was acquired by Blinkx for $15 million to each of the four owners at the time of closing and $5 million each one year later. All of the founders stayed on to work at the newly acquired company.
AdKarma is #31 in the 2014 Inc. 5000 list of Fastest-Growing Private American Companies with a three-year growth rate of 7,635%. The company is also #2 in the Inc. list of Top Advertising & Marketing Companies and #1 in Top Missouri Companies.
