That the Chinese search giant is becoming a serial investor in Israel is not surprising, according to Edouard Cukierman, chairman of Cukierman & Co.

Those investments followed Baidu’s first foray into the Israeli investment scene last October, when Baidu, along with Chinese insurer Ping-An and software company Qihoo360, invested in an venture capital fund sponsored by Israel’s Carmel Ventures. Prior to that, Baidu invested $3 million in Israeli video capture firm Pixellot, the originator of the unamanned “capture-all” system, which deploys cameras to capture all angles and views of a venue.

Besides Taboola, the Chinese firm invested in April in Tonara, a fully digitized sheet music platform for professional and amateur musicians which follows music (monophonic or polyphonic) as it is being played, identifies notes, and shows the sheet music and specific notes as they are being played (currently, it works with piano, violin, cello and flute). That funding, said Baidu, “represents another significant vote of confidence in Taboola and the future of content discovery,” and is an indication that content discovery will continue to experience growth.īaidu, China’s biggest web services firm with nearly $8 billion in revenues last year, has directly invested in three Israeli companies now. But the company is definitely IPO-worthy last February, Taboola raised $117 million in Series E financing, a sum that most Israeli start-ups can only dream about when they go public. Talk of a Taboola IPO hasn’t been as rampant, and in recent interviews CEO Adam Singolda said that the company was not planning one right now. Long rumored to be considering an IPO, Outbrain recently appointed former AVG Chief Technology Officer Yuval Ben-Itzhak as its CTO, a move analysts said was part of Outbrain’s preparation of an official big-name management layer that would make an IPO more palatable to investors. Taboola and another Israeli firm called Outbrain dominate the industry (officially known as “content discovery”), and the algorithms they have developed, as well as their vast experience, make them very attractive to investors for their ability to keep content perusers’ attention longer.


Using advanced intelligence techniques based on hundreds of metrics – how long a reader stays on a site, how many times they visit one, which ads they linger on when viewing a site (e.g., how quickly they close pop-up windows), where they are located, and more – Taboola determines what content will be most interesting to a reader, and presents links that, site owners hope, will garner more clicks for a site or a network. The system is used to drive traffic from one site to another, or to keep readers on a site by offering them more of what they came for. Taboola is best-known for its “you may also be interested in” meme, which is ever-present on innumerable web content pages.
