Taboola is an up and coming video recommendation company. The algorithm that Taboola uses to make recommendations takes into account a user’s video ratings, reviews, history, the length of a video, and how much a video was watched by the user. The Israeli startup company officially announced their launch on NewTeeVee Live, San Francisco.

Taboola was founded by Adam Singolda. Prior to launching Taboola, Singolda was a commander in the Israeli Defense Forces, a unit of the Israeli National Security Agency (I-NSA).

Tomorrow Taboola will be announcing that they have raised $1.5 million in funding from Evergreen Venture Partners, according to TechCrunch. Other companies in the portfolio for Evergreen include aniBoom, Appstream, and eGlue.
