Location-Focused Ad Startup PlaceIQ Raises $15M More

placeiqPlaceIQ, a startup that uses location data for mobile advertising, is announcing that it has raised $15 million in Series C funding.The company was founded in 2010, back when most of the interest in location-based ads was focused on geofencing i.e., if youre close to a store, you get an ad for that store. CEO Duncan McCall told me that PlaceIQs approach is more about a proprietary understanding of the world, where location data is used to build a broader profile of user behavior, which in turn can be used for targeting ads and tracking their success.
