StartApp logra aumentar 10 veces sus descargas en 18 meses

10X growth in 18 months: StartApp hits 1.5B downloads, 70K installs, and 200M daily impressions

18 months after it reached the 150 million download plateau, mobile ad platform StartApp announced today that it has now hit over 1.5 billion downloads. And while the official release says the company’s ad software is now embedded in 60,000 apps, CEO Gil Dudkiewicz told me the number is actually higher.

“We’re actually higher, at about 70,000 apps right now,” Dudkiewicz said today. “We have the right execution, and the right product in the marketplace … and just in the past month, we’ve added 5,000 new apps via signups on our website.”

VentureBeat recently released our Mobile Ad Index, featuring the top 10 mobile advertising companies.



That’s not quite at the level of an Admob, which is in almost 40 percent of all Android apps, or even Millennial Media or Inmobi, but it’s pretty significant for a small Israeli startup.

Key to being able to generate that level of developer interest is having a strong relationship with thousands and thousands of advertisers, and having interesting and creative ad units, Dudkiewicz added. The company offers just about any kind of ad experience an advertiser could ask for, including search ads, text ads, interstitial ads that are customized to users’ activities, a 3D offerwall, exit ads when someone is leaving an app, as well as banner ads and rich media ads.

Importantly, the company says, all of its ads are shown to 100 percent non-incentivized traffic — meaning someone is not just enduring your ad for five seconds in order to get free jewel power-ups in their current favorite game.

StartApp is only currently available for Android apps, but the company will have big news shortly: It will be launching on iOS “very soon.”

In addition, StartApp will allow advertisers to sign up online via its website, also “very soon,” which will reduce the barriers to entry for advertisers to get up and running. And while Dudkiewicz didn’t say exactly how advertisers will be able to purchase ads or interact with StartApp’s publisher inventory, the new functionality will likely allow StartApp to add a real-time bidding engine to its ad platform.

The key to StartApp’s success, according to Dudkiewicz?

“You have to have innovative ad units … and we’re probably the most innovative in the marketplace.”
