AppsFlyer raises an additional $20M in Series B funding

By Oren Kaniel

Dear customers, partners and friends,

I am excited to share with you that we just raised $20 million in a Series B funding. Led by Fidelity Growth Partners with participation from our existing investors, Magma Venture Partners and Pitango Venture Capital, the financing will let us fulfill our mission of providing mobile marketers with unbiased, independent measurement and analytics they can trust. To mark this momentous occasion, we’ve relaunched the AppsFlyer website.

AppsFlyer is now measuring billions of mobile user actions daily, and global top tier app publishers are leveraging our technology. The AppsFlyer universal SDK has been installed over 4 billion times and can be found in 9 out of every 10 smartphone devices worldwide, measuring more than $1B in mobile ad spend annually.

This investment will ensure that AppsFlyer remains a reliable and independent mobile advertising measurement platform for many years to come. There have been several opportunities that could have distracted us from achieving our vision.

But in the end we remain steadfastly focused on providing the unbiased measurement that is crucial to the entire industry if mobile advertising is going to fulfill its potential.

I would like to take the opportunity to state our commitment for the future:

We will maintain our unbiased and independent positioning
We will not become a media company, ad-network, or agency. Our partners can rest assured that we have long-term plans to empower and support their businesses
We will introduce the ultimate marketing dashboard and analytics capabilities to enable our clients to make the right decisions, benefiting everyone in the ecosystem – developers, advertisers, publishers, and end users
We will maintain an open platform and allow 3rd party developers to add services on top of the AppsFlyer platform
Because we believe app usage data is one of the most important things a developer has:
- We will protect our clients’ app data to keep it 100% private and secure
- We will ensure that the data always belongs to our clients, and we will never use it for targeting or profiling
- We will never act in a conflict of interest with our clients or partners
We will continue develop OneLink to become the global industry standard for smart deep linking solutions

Special thanks goes out to…

Our Clients – We truly think of our clients as our first investors. Our financial investors took their lead from you. This would never have happened without you.
Our Investors – Thanks for the support along the way by helping us execute our vision. Doing business with people you like to work with is crucial. There is no other way.
