We are OpenWeb

Turning publishers into hosts, comments into conversations, ad space into brand value, and online users into thriving, vibrant communities.

At OpenWeb we’re on a mission to save online conversations.
To inspire and elevate an open exchange of ideas across the open web, to eradicate hostility and toxicity, to create an online environment that allows all voices to be heard and welcomes all points of view into the conversation.

We do this the best way we know how, by building innovative, proactive conversation technologies that get users talking better for longer, that turn publishers into hosts of thriving communities and provide a safe quality platform for advertisers to promote their brands.

Founded in 2012, OpenWeb now has over 110 talented, mission driven employees in New York City and Tel Aviv and is backed by world-class investors including Insight Partners, Index Ventures, AltaIR Capital, ScaleUp, and Norma Investments, who share our vision and support us in our efforts to create quality online conversations for everyone.

Trusted by the world’s leading publishers

Learn more about our publisher solutions

Always mindful of the publisher’s role as a host, we provide our partners with tools and platforms that enable interaction at scale and with automated and human moderation that protects their brand and adheres to their own vision.

With a clear focus on engagement as their utmost value driver, we continually hone our products to promote interaction, encourage contribution and increase loyalty.

We know that like snowflakes, no two publishers are the same, therefore we build our platforms to offer flexibility in adapting the product to the specific needs and goals of each publication.

Above all we believe in the future of online publishers and their role in upholding freedom of information and debate for society as a whole. We see it as our privilege to partner with them in providing a free, inclusive and quality platform that enables open and meaningful public discourse.
