InterActiveCorp

InterActiveCorp, often abbreviated as IAC, is an American media and internet company headquartered in New York City. Founded in 1996 by Barry Diller, IAC operates a diverse portfolio of businesses across various online sectors. The company's primary focus areas include dating, home services, travel, and media.

IAC's digital ventures encompass well-known brands such as HomeAdvisor, Angie's List, HomeAway (now Vrbo), and Match Group, which includes popular dating services like Tinder, Match.com, and OKCupid. While Match Group was spun off as a separate public company in 2020, it remains a significant part of IAC's historical development and a related entity. The company also has interests in digital advertising and content platforms.

Throughout its history, IAC has employed a strategy of acquiring and growing online businesses, often divesting or spinning off units as market conditions and strategic priorities evolved. Barry Diller has remained a central figure in the company's direction and management. IAC's business model typically involves leveraging its digital platforms to generate revenue through advertising, subscription fees, and transaction-based services. The company aims to foster innovation and growth within its portfolio companies, adapting to the ever-changing landscape of the digital economy.
