                          So it turns out this image, which I've been seeing all over goes to a link that has nothing to do with MIT graduates or those pictured.

                        Fun trick, want to see how pervasive a Taboola/Outbrain ad is?

                      Hmmm, selling US car insurance through tons of India economics and tech sites? Seems like a bad investment.

                    In case you were wondering, despite the logos on their shirts those two women aren't the MIT grads disrupting the car insurance industry...

                  The two MIT grads are Seth Birnbaum ( crunchbase.com/person/seth-birnbaum-2#/entity ) and Tomas Revesz ( crunchbase.com/person/tomas-revesz#/entity )

                Surely the sudden barrage of Outbrain & ad exchange spots w/this ad isn't some crass strategy to juice the numbers before raising capital?

            Gee, I hope Stratim Capital, Oceanic Partners and T Capital Partners didn't base any their investments off web traffic numbers in any way.

          Because it sure looks like the ad buy wasn't particularly targeted and therefore is pulling in a lot of likely BS traffic.

        And the ad placement itself encourages traffic to come in with no knowledge of what they are clicking to.

      Which means EverQuote seems to be driving a pull of a lot of traffic unlikely to create sales leads. *shrugz*
