Project

LightAd is looking to develop a proprietary performance-oriented DSP with an embedded optimization module supporting various billing models, including CPM, CPC, and CPA. The main goal is to bring the technology in-house and receive all the benefits of owning the IP, such as:

Customization: LightAd should have full control over the functionality of the solution. The solution’s ability to meet various business needs and requirements will set LightAd apart from the competition.

Scalability: LightAd DSP should be designed to scale as the business grows and have the flexibility of adding new features and capabilities. The constraints of white-label solutions will no longer be an obstacle for the business.

Security and compliance: Owning the IP allows the implementation of robust security measures, better control over data privacy, protection against security threats, etc.

Long-term cost savings: Owning the IP leads to long-term cost savings.LightAd wants to avoid ongoing licensing fees and dependencies on third-party providers, which can become significant expenses over time.

Potential acquisition: The technology should be the valuation multiplier if LightAd considers going to the business scenario.
