CEO Todd Vernon on Lijit (just bought by FM)
Why did Federated Media buy Lijit? Hear Todd Vernon explain Lijit's business
This week, Federated Media Publishing scooped up Lijit Networks, which just raised $10 million this past April. The acquisition could be seen as great timing for Lijit, whose revenue has been growing 50% month over month over the last six months. This year, sales are expected to be $12 million, then $20 million in 2012. I caught up with CEO Todd Vernon just before the acquisition. We even touched on the various partners that would be a complementary fit, including Federated.
