Ads and Insights From Social Interest Data

We have fun with hard problems

It's not easy finding the most relevant information in under 50ms for millions of users globally, but we definitely have fun doing it. The world's public interest graph is our sandbox and our laboratory.

At 140 Proof, we believe that the futures of media and data are both moving towards the individual, and that the team who can deliver the most relevant information the fastest to the most people will #win.
