Our mission is to grow the mobile app ecosystem by enabling the success of mobile app developers.

Our software solutions provide advanced tools for mobile app developers to grow their businesses by automating and optimizing the marketing and monetization of their apps. Since inception, our platform has driven over six billion mobile app installs for mobile app developers. Our software, coupled with our deep industry knowledge and expertise, has allowed us to rapidly scale a successful and diversified portfolio of owned mobile apps. We have also accelerated our market penetration through an active acquisition and partnership strategy. Our scaled and integrated business model sits at the nexus of the mobile app ecosystem, which creates a durable competitive advantage that has fueled our clients’ success and our strong growth.

Over the past two decades, mobile apps have become integral to our lives. Mobile apps offer a wide array of applications, such as allowing users to seamlessly share ideas, make purchases, monitor health, and access entertainment. Based on data from IDC, we estimate our total market opportunity to be $189 billion in 2020, growing to $283 billion in 2024, or a 10.6% CAGR. Growth of the mobile app ecosystem benefits mobile app users, but makes it harder for mobile app developers, and particularly indie developers, to scale and succeed in a crowded market. Most developers lack access to the marketing, monetization, and data analytics tools required to stand out among the more than 4.8 million mobile apps available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, according to Statista, or attract sufficient numbers of mobile app users to create and sustain a successful long-term business. Underscoring how difficult it is to create a successful mobile app, SensorTower estimates that 80% of all mobile app downloads were generated by 1% of the total developers across Apple App Store and Google Play Store in the third quarter of 2019.

The marketing and monetization challenges faced by mobile app developers are particularly acute for developers of mobile games, which is one of the largest and fastest-growing segments within the mobile app ecosystem. According to IDC, there are more than 2 billion mobile gamers worldwide—and, according to Statista, there are more than 1.3 million mobile gaming apps on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Mobile gaming accounts for 39% of worldwide app downloads and for 72% of all app store consumer spend by value, according to Sensor Tower.
