History

Industry Dive was formed in 2012 by Sean Griffey (president), Eli Dickinson (chief technology officer), and Ryan Willumson (chief revenue officer). It was funded with $900,000 from private investors in 2012 and 2013. The company covered five industries: construction, education, marketing, utility, and waste.[3][4]

In 2016, it began its Dive Awards. Industry Dive's revenues quadrupled from 2015 to 2018,[quantify] putting it in the top half of the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 and the top 20 percent of the Inc. Top 5000 list. In 2019, Falfurrias Capital Partners acquired a majority stake in the company. ID's content marketing clients included IBM, Siemens, and UPS.[5]

In 2020, DCA Live named Industry Dive to its "Red Hot Companies" list, which recognizes the D.C. area's 'fastest-growing' companies.[6] In the same year, Industry Dive acquired CFO.[7][8] In 2021, Industry Dive acquired PharmaVOICE.[9]
