PowWow provides an application delivery platform that allows companies to move existing Windows or web applications to any mobile device in minutes, making them feel native so users can use the applications and devices of their choice. The company sells its services via direct and OEM relationships. PowWow was founded in 2012 by CEO Andrew Cohen and Jonathan Kaplan and is based in San Francisco, CA. It raised $2.5M in Series A financing and intends to use the funds to go to market and to expand its engineering teams. The raise should support commercialization and product development efforts as the company scales its sales channels. No operating metrics (revenue or users) were disclosed in the article. PowWow provides a virtual application delivery and collaboration platform that runs Windows and web applications on any mobile device in minutes, using an adaptive user-interface technology that requires no coding. Its patent-pending software layer lets IT or expert users configure per-device gestures, keyboard and UI, and its protocol converts single-user apps into multi-user collaborative apps for real-time co-authoring when a document owner grants control. The platform can be deployed on-premise, via the cloud, or in hybrid environments and integrates with existing back-end hardware and software while preserving IT security and control. PowWow launched its flagship product and is offering it immediately, priced at $25/month per user with a free trial available for select enterprises. Several enterprise customers are already using the product, including a top-five bank, a top-three pharmaceutical company, a Fortune 100 insurer and a Fortune 10 conglomerate. The company has raised $1.1 million in seed funding.
