Internet Brands Secures Over $12B Valuation Through Major Capital Infusion From KKR, Temasek, and Warburg Pincus

Internet Brands has successfully completed a substantial recapitalization round valuing the company at more than $12 billion, attracting prominent capital partners including longstanding investor KKR, Singapore-based Temasek, and newly joined Warburg Pincus as lead new investor. KKR maintains its position as the largest shareholder following the transaction.

Scaling Digital Dominance Across Verticals

The online media and software services platform has demonstrated remarkable trajectory since KKR’s initial backing in 2014, multiplying in valuation roughly eightfold over the past eight years. Internet Brands operates a diversified portfolio spanning Health, Automotive, Legal, and Home/Travel sectors, with flagship properties including WebMD, Medscape, Henry Schein ONE, Nolo, Avvo, and Martindale commanding market leadership positions. The company’s consumer-facing ecosystem attracts over 250 million monthly visitors, while simultaneously serving small and medium-sized businesses as well as enterprise clients through comprehensive web presence solutions.

CEO Bob Brisco highlighted the company’s strategic positioning: “Our established dominance in Consumer Health, Consumer Legal, and Healthcare Professionals sectors, combined with our forward-looking roadmap, positions us to capture accelerating opportunities in the digital transformation of these markets.”

Capital Partnership Signals Growth Confidence

Warburg Pincus, managing more than $85 billion in assets, brings extensive expertise in scaling technology-enabled platforms across multiple sectors. Mark Colodny, Co-Head of U.S. Private Equity at Warburg Pincus, noted the firm’s confidence in Internet Brands’ leadership team and their ability to innovate across competitive verticals while benefiting from the structural shift toward digital advertising channels.

The partnership reinforces existing relationships with KKR and Temasek, both of whom remain committed to supporting Internet Brands’ next phase of expansion. John Park, Partner at KKR, emphasized the firm’s optimism about the company’s trajectory and management team’s capacity to execute its growth strategy.

Internet Brands’ proprietary operating infrastructure provides the technical foundation and scalability required to sustain momentum across its diverse market segments, positioning the company to continue capitalizing on digital adoption trends across healthcare, legal services, automotive, and travel sectors.
