PacketZoom combines a content delivery network with an application performance management tool to speed up and optimize app delivery on mobile devices. The company offers a free SDK that provides developers with analytics and network-related performance alerts, giving insight into activity on end-user devices and cellular networks. Its paid product, Mobile Expresslane, generates revenue via pay-per-volume pricing and promises 2–3× faster downloads while reducing network errors. PacketZoom addresses mobile-specific issues like timeouts and packet loss by adapting how servers handle lost packets to reduce errors. The company was founded in 2013 and released its product in 2016 after a 2015 seed round. In the 18 months since launch it has 68 paying customers, including Sephora, Glu Mobile and East Side Games, and competes in a market where Cloudflare recently acquired competitor Neumob. PacketZoom is a San Mateo, CA–based mobile content delivery network that provides a CDN for mobile publishers and developers. Its technology boosts app performance across verticals including gaming, media, retail and travel by eliminating last-mile roadblocks tied to a user’s geographic location and type of mobile network. The company is led by new CEO Shlomi Gian. PacketZoom raised $4.3m in funding and said it will use the proceeds to scale operations.
