**About Insticator**

At Insticator, we believe that the future of social media is distributed, rather than siloed in walled gardens like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Unlike most ad tech networks in the space, Insticator is built to optimize the publisher experience.

We’re on a mission to create a smart and unified platform that will collect, aggregate and monetize all of a publisher’s first-party data. Insticator is the global leader in increasing engagement for publishers through interactive content and community-building.

Our suite of engagement products empowers publishers and consumers alike to amplify their voices and express their opinions in safe and interactive environments.

From our human-moderated Commenting Unit that facilitates healthy, respectful discourse to our Content Engagement Unit that enables audiences to share their opinions and interact with content that speaks directly to them, Insticator reaches over 350 million consumers monthly across its vast network of premium publishing partners including Ancestry, WebMD, Fox Sports, RealClear Media Group, Newsmax and others.

Insticator's platform empowers more than 6,000 content creators every month to monetize content opportunities for publishers and brands.

Insticator is honored to be included in the Inc 5,000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies, as well as a recipient of Red Herring's Global 100 award. Headquartered in New York City, Insticator’s global footprint spans offices in Miami, Canada, India, the Philippines, Ukraine and the United Kingdom.
