Our story

Built to bring AI advertising to everyone.

Moloco was founded in 2013 by machine learning engineers who had built AI advertising inside the world's largest technology companies. Our CEO, Ikkjin Ahn, helped build the AI behind YouTube's monetization, where he watched a young, unprofitable platform become one of the most successful businesses on the Internet. The technology that made that possible lived inside a handful of giants, out of reach for everyone else.

We named the company for the bet at its core: Moloco is short for "Machine Learning Company," what we largely refer to today as AI. Our purpose has been the same ever since: to bring the caliber of AI advertising that built the largest platforms to every business growing on the open Internet. Today, our AI system powers performance advertising across millions of apps, commerce media for many of the world's leading retailers, and monetization for publishers.

What we believe

The best AI advertising shouldn't belong only to the biggest platforms. For two decades it lived inside a few walled gardens. We exist to bring that same caliber of performance to everyone else.

Our vision is to be the scaling engine for the Internet economy. We imagine an open Internet where the best ideas can become lasting businesses, no matter who is behind them. A new app, a growing retailer, or the next category-defining platform should be able to reach the right people and fund growth with the same caliber of AI advertising once reserved for the largest companies.

The open Internet is the real opportunity. It's where attention and intention live across millions of apps, connected TVs, and the world's leading storefronts. And it's where growth is increasingly won.

Performance is positive-sum. Great AI advertising grows the pie rather than dividing it. When more companies can grow this way, when advertisers, publishers, and shoppers all gain, the Internet becomes more competitive, more innovative, and more interesting. It gets better for everyone who lives there.

As discovery shifts to new surfaces, from connected TVs to AI agents, the foundation we're building today will carry our customers into what comes next.

Moloco’s compound
AI system

Moloco's CARA (Compound Ad Recommendation Architecture) is the AI system at the foundation of every Moloco product. CARA has been developed and refined over more than a decade to optimize every digital impression for customer outcomes. It orchestrates 30+ models, agents, and specialized software spanning four technical domains: Campaign Automation, Bidding, Creative, and Signals, plus other specialized domains for Moloco Ads and Moloco Commerce Media.

Because the domains share a common architecture, an improvement in any one of them compounds across the rest. The interconnected models also learn continuously from billions of events every day, and updated model versions are deployed as often as every two hours.
