Layoff history
About 200 Outbrain employees were let go in early February 2025, the majority outside Israel, as the combined Outbrain-Teads company moved to eliminate duplicate roles following the close of their merger. The $625 million deal brought together Israeli ad-tech firm Outbrain and French digital advertising company Teads, creating a combined entity targeting $65-75 million in annual cost savings by 2026. David Kostman, Outbrain's CEO, leads the merged business, which now operates under the Teads brand, employs around 2,000 people, serves 20,000 advertisers, and reaches approximately 2 billion consumers monthly. Combined 2024 revenues were projected at $623 million. No specific severance terms or affected team names were disclosed.
