iSocket is one ad tech startup banking on simplicity. Its BuyAds platform wants to marry advertisers directly with publisher inventory. It is currently used by more than 600 websites and claims a growth rate of 10 percent per month.
The devil is in the details, of course, and the company may face challenges in the future from a market crowded with rapidly cloning real-time bidding products.
