PPLI

Iac Inc.

A digital media and internet company built around publishing, online care, and search advertising, its best-known homes include the People magazine brand, Better Homes & Gardens, Investopedia, and the Care.com marketplace that matches families with caregivers. It grew out of a small group of TV stations Barry Diller took over in 1995, which eventually became IAC, a company famous for buying, building, and spinning out internet brands. Diller, once a TV studio chief, has said an early visit to a home-shopping channel sparked his belief that a screen, phone, and computer together could power interactive commerce.
