description: StrikeAd was a mobile advertising technology company, founded in New York City in 2010 and backed by Uncork Capital,
  that built Fusion - one of the first demand-side platforms (DSPs) built specifically for mobile programmatic advertising.
  Sizmek Inc. completed its acquisition of StrikeAd for approximately $11.7 million in May 2015 and folded the platform into
  Sizmek MDX; Sizmek itself was subsequently broken up, with its ad server going to Amazon and its DSP and DMP to Zeta Global.
  The StrikeAd brand no longer operates. Its primary domain (strikead.com) is now a parked domain on GoDaddy nameservers that
  answers every request - homepage, /.well-known/ discovery paths, and common contract paths alike - with the same 114-byte
  HTML lander redirect to /lander, confirmed against a negative-control path. The api., docs. and developer. subdomains do
  not resolve, and the github.com/strikead organization is named "ex-StrikeAd" and has zero public repositories. No developer
  portal, API documentation, OpenAPI definition, or other machine-readable API surface exists.

  detail: StrikeAd was acquired by Sizmek in May 2015 and the brand was retired; strikead.com is now a GoDaddy-parked domain
    whose catch-all responder returns the identical 114-byte /lander HTML for every path - including a nonsense negative-control
    path - so its 200s on /.well-known/ and /openapi.json are parking shells, not documents.
