History
Founded by Dan Kimball, David Stadler, and Sean Stafford in Louisville, Kentucky, in 2013, El Toro initially began as a service to fight ad fraud.[1] In 2016, Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin recognized El Toro's growth in Louisville as a demonstration of the tech industry's momentum in the region.[2] In 2017, Deloitte named El Toro the 13th fastest-growing technology company in North America.[3] Its clients include GE, Honda, political campaigns, public and private universities, financial institutions, and non-profit organizations.[4]
Technology
El Toro developed a patented algorithm that reverse-engineers the geolocation of a target by matching a physical mailing address to an IP address, enabling use in conjunction with direct marketing campaigns.[5] El Toro does not keep confidential or sensitive information on web users that would allow its customers to identify individuals.[6]
