Key people at NextRoll.
NextRoll is a San Francisco-based marketing technology company that provides machine learning-powered platforms to accelerate growth for businesses of all sizes.[1][2] It operates three main business units: AdRoll for direct-to-consumer (DTC) companies, RollWorks for business-to-business (B2B) account-based marketing, and NextRoll Platform Services for customizable marketing tech solutions, serving over 37,000 customers globally.[2] The company builds a Demand Side Platform (DSP) and Customer Data Platform (CDP+) that ingest vast data volumes—over 150 billion daily buyer predictions and 120 billion auction requests—to deliver targeted ads, track conversions, and optimize bidding in real-time auctions.[1][3] This solves the problem of inefficient ad spend by enabling precise customer engagement at scale, particularly for high-growth DTC and B2B firms, with strong momentum evidenced by handling nearly 1.4 million requests per second.[3]
NextRoll launched as AdRoll in 2006 with a mission to level the playing field for businesses of all sizes through a reliable marketing platform.[1] Over the years, it evolved into NextRoll, expanding into high-growth markets by developing advanced machine learning capabilities and launching RollWorks for B2B and Platform Services for flexible tech integrations.[1][2] Headquartered at 71 Stevenson St in San Francisco, the company has grown into a privately-held entity powering data-driven marketing for tens of thousands of global customers, building on over a decade of refining its tech stack.[1][2][5]
NextRoll rides the wave of programmatic advertising and account-based marketing (ABM), fueled by exploding data volumes and real-time bidding in digital ad markets.[3] Its timing aligns with the shift toward machine learning-driven personalization amid privacy regulations and cookie deprecation, positioning it to leverage proprietary data for compliant, high-ROI campaigns.[1][3] Market forces like the growth of DTC e-commerce and B2B tech stacks favor its dual-market focus, influencing the ecosystem by empowering mid-market companies with enterprise-grade tools—democratizing access once limited to big players and processing unprecedented auction scales.[1][2][3]
NextRoll is poised to expand its ML edge as ad tech consolidates around data platforms and AI automation, potentially deepening integrations with emerging CRMs and e-commerce tools.[1][3] Trends like zero-party data and predictive analytics will shape its path, enhancing CDP+ for post-cookie worlds, while scaling infrastructure could target even larger enterprises.[3][4] Its influence may evolve from growth accelerator to infrastructure backbone, solidifying its role in leveling the ad tech playing field for ambitious businesses worldwide.[1][2]
NextRoll has raised $89.0M in total across 3 funding rounds.
