GENWI offers a cloud publishing solution and mobile CMS (mCMS) that lets publishers repurpose content and build customizable native and HTML5 apps using templates and tools. Its platform decouples content and design so editors manage content while designers handle navigation and UI, which are joined at runtime and distributed across devices. The system avoids frequent app-store resubmissions for small tweaks and supports targeted content delivery by geography, usage patterns, or interest. GENWI is powering roughly 1,500 apps, storing and delivering 90 million+ articles and 120 million+ images, and serving over 6 million app views per month. Customers include Conde Nast, IndiaTimes, Moguldom Media, Forbes, PBS Kids and The Hollywood Reporter. The company grew revenues 600% year‑over‑year, expanded its team to 24, and says the new funding will help propel it toward profitability. GENWI provides a cloud-based publishing platform that enables publishers to create and distribute interactive mobile apps across iOS, Android, HTML5 and other devices. Its Cloud Publishing Suite includes a mobile-optimized content aggregation and management system, a custom interface layout engine, usage analytics, intelligent content curation, social and ad network integration, and app distribution — all managed from the cloud. GENWI says it has created and actively manages over 1,500 apps for "thousands of" publishers. The company raised a $4M Series A from Nexus Venture Partners, bringing total funding to $5.1M to date. The new capital will be used to build infrastructure and an extensive app network to enable more advanced monetization and distribution features, support global expansion, and add multilingual functionality. Founded in 2010 and based in Los Altos, California, GENWI is privately held.
