Prague-based AdTech company R2B2, majority-owned by the private equity fund Genesis Capital Growth, has announced the acquisition of Caroda, a leading video advertising SaaS company. The deal represents a strategic step forward, enhancing the capabilities of both companies and driving growth in the CEE and especially in international markets.<\/p>\n

R2B2 specializes in maximizing online publishers\u2019 ad revenues through proprietary technologies and programmatic demand solutions. Caroda, founded by Ioan-Carol Pl\u00e2ngu and Roman Mura, is known for its innovative SaaS solutions that empower publishers with tools to monetize video inventory transparently and effectively. Its flagship technology, Multiformat Carousel, helps publishers boost ad revenue even amidst declining traffic and market challenges. By integrating Caroda\u2019s expertise, R2B2 aims to further strengthen its position as a leader in the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region while expanding globally.<\/p>\n

Accelerating Growth Through Acquisition and Innovation<\/strong>
\u201cCaroda has been on our radar for years due to the exceptional quality of its video monetization solutions,\u201d said Franti\u0161ek Bauma, CEO of R2B2, who will also assume the role of Managing Director at Caroda. \u201cThis acquisition allows us to build a more comprehensive and competitive offering for publishers, benefiting both our existing and future clients.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both companies highlight that their collaboration will begin immediately, with a phased integration of services and technologies over the coming months. For current clients, all services and technologies will continue as usual.<\/p>\n

The acquisition is part of R2B2\u2019s broader strategy, which includes organic growth, international expansion, and strategic acquisitions. Together, R2B2 and Caroda aim to provide publishers with the tools needed to face competition from global tech companies. By leveraging their combined expertise and sharing knowledge across international teams, the partnership positions them for continued success in a challenging market.<\/p>\n

A Unified Vision for Publishers<\/strong>
Caroda has a proven track record in video ad monetization, with a SaaS model that simplifies and enhances publishers\u2019 ability to generate revenue. \u201cThis partnership is a pivotal moment for Caroda\u2019s growth and innovation,\u201d said Roman Mura, CEO of Caroda, who will continue in his role while also assuming the position of Chief Strategy Officer at R2B2. Ioan-Carol Pl\u00e2ngu, who co-founded Caroda alongside Mura, will not continue with the company following the acquisition. \u201cBy joining forces, we\u2019re creating one of the most effective monetization platforms in the online advertising market,\u201d added Roman Mura.<\/p>\n

The combined strengths of R2B2 and Caroda will help publishers in the CEE region and beyond adapt to industry challenges such as declining traffic and increased competition. Together, the companies aim to optimize publishers\u2019 ad space and deliver sustainable revenue growth.<\/p>\n

The company expanded to Slovakia in 2018 and now collaborates with partners in 46 countries worldwide. With Caroda\u2019s growing presence in America and Eastern Europe, the two companies are poised to expand their footprint and deliver innovative solutions to publishers globally.<\/p>\n

Luk\u00e1\u0161 Alexandr, CTO of R2B2, emphasized the importance of Caroda\u2019s expertise: \u201cOver nearly a decade, Caroda has developed a deep understanding of video advertising. Their knowledge will be invaluable as we continue to enhance our offering for publishers worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n
