About The Trade Desk
The Trade Desk runs a programmatic advertising platform. Advertisers and agencies use it to buy digital ads across the open internet in real time auctions, and the company earns revenue from fees on the ad spend flowing through its platform.
AI is its competitive edge: the Kokai AI engine optimizes bids and audiences across campaigns, AI bid optimization decides what each impression is worth, AI audience targeting finds the right viewers, and the Solimar data platform underpins campaign decisions.
Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Ventura, California, The Trade Desk employs about 3,800 people under co-founder and CEO Jeff Green, and trades on the NASDAQ.
The Trade Desk in the AI buildout
The Trade Desk sits in the AI Applications layer of the buildout. Its Kokai engine is a working example of applied AI at scale, evaluating impressions and optimizing campaigns in real time for advertisers. AI is core to why the product wins, but the company's revenue tracks digital advertising spend rather than AI infrastructure demand, so the buildout improves its product without being its market. Supercycle scores its AI exposure at 25 out of 100.
TTD is tracked in AI Applications, rated Peripheral on the AI Exposure leaderboard.
