Dynamic Yield, clients can seamlessly deliver a personalized experience to every single visitor to their website. They experience a uplift as high as 100% in conversion rates and revenues as a result. These are real numbers they can point to, and who doesn’t want to point to increased revenue?”
“Marker LLC led this investment because we believe that Dynamic Yield will become the leader in the conversion optimization industry”, said Rick Scanlon, a founding Partner at Marker LLC, “Liad and his team have developed a groundbreaking platform that provides immediate and sustainable benefits to any online marketing team. This funding will help the company with its growth plan.”

smart bets on companies that develop elegant solutions for specific sectors and functions,” said Adam
