Clicker Targeting Corporation

Clicker Targeting Corporation was a Los Angeles, California-based internet video directory and search engine that functioned as a comprehensive guide for full-length television episodes and movies available online. The platform successfully indexed over one million television shows, movies, and videos across various free and paid web services to facilitate content discovery, social sharing, and user ratings. Prior to its acquisition, the startup raised $19 million in total venture capital funding across Series A and Series B rounds from prominent investors including Benchmark Capital, Redpoint Ventures, and Jafco Ventures. In March 2011, the company was acquired by CBS Interactive for an estimated valuation between $50 million and $100 million, after which it ceased independent operations and integrated its core technology into the broader digital portfolio. Clicker Targeting Corporation was originally founded in October 2008 by Jim Lanzone.

Direct answer: I couldn’t find verifiable public information about a company named “Clicker Targeting Corporation” in the sources available to me, so I can’t produce a reliable company profile with the required details.[1][2][5]

Essential context and next steps

• Search results I found show similarly named entities (Klicker, Klicker Inc., Clicker Media, Clicker LLC) but none clearly match “Clicker Targeting Corporation” or provide the corporate details you requested (mission, founders, funding, product, etc.)[1][2][5].
  - Because the available records appear to refer to different companies (digital marketing agency Klicker; Clicker Media Inc; Clicker LLC in D&B), I can’t safely attribute information from those entries to “Clicker Targeting Corporation” without risking inaccuracy[1][2][5].
  

If you want a full profile in the format you specified, I can proceed in one of three ways—please choose:

• You can supply a link to the company’s website, corporate filing (e.g., state business registry), or a press release about Clicker Targeting Corporation, and I will build the requested sections with citations to those sources.
  - I can prepare a cautious, attributed profile that synthesizes likely information by mapping similar firms (e.g., digital ad targeting vendors) and clearly labeling everything as inference rather than sourced fact.
  - I can continue searching broader databases and news sources (I’ll report findings and cite each fact). Note that more obscure or very recently formed private firms may not appear in common business directories.

If you provide a source or choose an option, I’ll produce the High-Level Overview, Origin Story, Core Differentiators, Role in the Broader Tech Landscape, and Quick Take & Future Outlook with precise citations.
