Company
Wibiya was founded in 2008 in Israel by Dror Ceder, Daniel Tal, and Avi Smila[6] and subsequently acquired in 2011 for $45 million by Conduit,[4] the San Mateo, CA-based publisher network and platform.[2][3][4][5][6] Investors in the company included Primera Capital, Yossi Vardi, Oded Vardi, and Jeff Pulver.[3][7] In October 2013 Conduit announced that it would be shutting down Wibiya at the end of 2013.[8] On December 31 Wibiya was shut down. Starting November 2015 the Wibiya Website links began to redirect to new toolbar website tealdit.com. Once conduit released the domain to market after failed to renew, it was put on sale at Sedo auction. Damodar Bashyal bought the domain from there and redirected all links to tealdit.com.
