description: Boost Media (formerly BoostCTR) was a digital-advertising creative-optimization SaaS platform that paired machine-learning
  analysis with a curated marketplace of more than 1,000 human writers and designers to test and improve ad creative across
  paid search, social, video, and display campaigns. Its technology powered roughly $1 billion in paid-search advertising
  for around 100 global brands across retail, education, financial services, healthcare and insurance, gaming, auto, and travel.
  Backed by Battery Ventures (Series C, $19M, 2014), Founder Collective, and 500 Global, the company raised about $42.8M total
  before being acquired by AdLabs Technology in April 2019. The company is now closed; its former domain (boostmedia.com)
  has been released and now serves a GoDaddy parking lander, and the acquirer's own domain (adlabs.ai) no longer resolves.
  This profile is retained as a Battery Ventures portfolio record. No public API, developer portal, or specification surface
  exists to enrich — the Internet Archive record of boostmedia.com shows a WordPress marketing site and blog only, with no
  developer, docs, or API path ever published.

x-status-detail: Acquired by AdLabs Technology in April 2019 (all assets, patents, trademarks and the website); operating
  status closed. Re-probed 2026-08-12 — boostmedia.com now RESOLVES (3.33.130.190, NS domaincontrol.com) but serves a GoDaddy
  parking lander, and boostctr.com redirects to a HugeDomains for-sale listing; the acquirer's domain adlabs.ai no longer
  resolves. The parking host answers HTTP 200 with the same 114-byte HTML redirect shell for EVERY path, including /.well-known/agent-card.json,
  /openapi.json and /swagger.json — treat all such 200s as soft-404s, not as a served surface.

  note: Full contract-discovery pass run against boostmedia.com and boostctr.com; every /.well-known/* and spec path returns
    a soft-200 parking shell, no real document. No artifacts written. Corrected the stale "NXDOMAIN" claim in x-status-detail
    — the domain resolves again, but as a parked lander.
x-coverage:
  state: none
  reason: defunct
  detail: Boost Media closed after AdLabs Technology bought its assets in April 2019; boostmedia.com is now a GoDaddy parking
    lander that soft-200s every path with a 114-byte HTML redirect shell, boostctr.com redirects to a HugeDomains for-sale
    page, the acquirer's adlabs.ai does not resolve, and the Internet Archive record of the site shows only a WordPress marketing
    blog with no developer or API path.
