REVIEW · Spot-checked financeads.com (active, figures confirmed). Added the missing corporate history: Berlin entity founded 2015 as a FinLeap/financeAds JV and FinLeap's 2021 exit to verticalAds Group (Coverager, finleap release); set currentOwner accordingly. 2006 refers to the financeAds brand, not the Berlin entity.
