Steve Swoboda, Co-Founder of SpotX

Mon, 30 Aug 2021 11:00:00 -0000

Bit by the entrepreneurship bug in 2007, Steve Swoboda founded SpotX, the first online advertising marketplace that is now utilized by premium publishers and broadcasters like Disney, Samsung, and Warner Media. Following the digital advertising boom years later, Steve and his co-founder Mike Shehan has built the company to $13 million and had an exit valuation of $1.2 billion.
