Yieldlab

Yieldlab was founded in Hamburg in September of 2010 as a technology and consultancy company.
Our focus is on the development of software systems for the real-time trading and delivery of advertisements via digital channels. We enable web sites, marketers, media houses and publishers, to strengthen and optimize their business relations with agencies and advertising clients.
As a minority shareholder, Virtual Minds AG became a strategic partner to Yieldlab. Thanks to this collaboration, we have access to over 100 specialists in the areas of software engineering and IT, complementing Yieldlab’s own team of experts.
This allows us to act dynamically, efficiently and quickly in response to our customers’ needs.
