Originally known as xAd, GroundTruth was founded in 2003 and has raised more than $160 million in funding, per PitchBook. GroundTruth's advertising platform is powered by its location data that allows advertisers to model their campaigns based on real-world information, like visits to stores. GroundTruth almost reached a deal to sell WeatherBug in 2019, but talks ultimately collapsed, according to two sources familiar with the matter. The current plan is to sell WeatherBug and GroundTruth as separate assets, the people familiar with the process said. As new privacy laws roll out across the world, increasing scrutiny has been poured on companies that transact location data.

November is still the most popular month to launch limited-time pumpkin items timed for Thanksgiving, but August is gaining ground. Restaurants' and retailers' extended fall also comes as pumpkin food and beverages become more popular throughout the autumn. As schools have pushed for an earlier start to the school year, Labor Day has lost some of its status as a seasonal indicator.
