ZergNet

Established around 2011,[4] ZergNet has been compared to Outbrain, Adblade, Taboola and similar companies,[5][6] and the fact that the site itself has become popular with some end users invited a comparison to BuzzFeed.[7] Zergnet aims to distinguish itself from its competitors by focusing on high quality, less spammy offerings.[6][7]

The company's investors include Mark Cuban and Greycroft Partners.[3][8]
