Hard to believe, but today is the 5 year anniversary of the DoubleClick acquisition! In the news, it’s on the 11th, but internally, I show up as starting on the 12th. Lots of news stories to browse through here. So enjoy a moment of reflection on the whole timeline… public, Hellman, being acquired, announced, year waiting period, close, and so on… Happily, there are still some great Clickers walking the halls here.
And – Catchpoint, Mehdi’s company, announced they raised $3.2 million in series A funding – so a HUGE congrats to Mehdi and his team.
