Back in October, DoubleVerify announced that it had closed a funding round of $350 million, led by Tiger Global Management. The company said in a statement that “ In addition to the shares being sold in the offering, an affiliate of Tiger Global Management, LLC, one of DoubleVerify’s existing stockholders, has entered into agreements to purchase $30 million of common stock from DoubleVerify in a private placement and $30 million of common stock from Providence in a secondary transaction, each concurrent with the completion of the offering at a price per share equal to the initial public offering price.
