OpenCandy offers a server-side bundling platform that suggests relevant Windows applications during installers rather than embedding secondary apps. Developers integrate the platform so suggested apps are only downloaded after a user elects to install them, and OpenCandy vets suggestions to allow only high-quality applications. The company spent the prior year refining its product and demonstrating that its model could work. Founder Chester Ng says the startup is now focused on scaling, expanding into new markets, forging more partnerships, and increasing hiring. Financially, OpenCandy has raised multiple venture rounds, including a recent Series B and an earlier Series A in 2008.
