History
Industry Dive was formed in 2012 by Sean Griffey (President), Eli Dickinson (Chief Technology Officer), and Ryan Willumson (Chief Revenue Officer) and was funded with $900,000 from private investors in 2012 and 2013. The company started by covering five industries: construction, education, marketing, utility, and waste. In 2016, the company began its Dive Awards to recognize the most innovative and disruptive businesses. Industry Dive's revenues quadrupled from 2015 to 2018, putting the company in the top half of the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 and the top 20 percent of the Inc top 5000 list. In 2019, Falfurrias Capital Partners acquired a majority stake in the company. Industry Dive's content marketing clients included IBM, Siemens, and UPS. In 2020, DCA Live named Industry Dive to its “Red Hot Companies” list, which recognizes the Washington DC area’s fastest-growing companies. In the same year, Industry Dive acquired CFO.com and rebranded it as Payments Dive. During the coronavirus pandemic, Industry Dive made work at home an option for all of its employees.
