SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Gummicube®, founded by mobile startup veterans Dave Bell and Anh Nguyen, today announced its formal company launch backed by $830,000 in seed funding from Golden Seeds and F50 Venture Partners. The company is using the capital to introduce its DATACUBE™ software, which offers marketers and app developers' big data analytics capabilities for the global App Stores. DATACUBE elevates data driven mobile marketing beyond simple keyword tools with an intuitive interface that identify consumer trends and delivers the real-time competitive intelligence necessary for effective mobile marketing campaigns. DATACUBE also helps automate keyword and phrase selection using proprietary semantic algorithms for an App Store Optimization Strategy that takes less time to implement and is far more effective than traditional ASO tools.
Of the millions of apps currently available in the App Stores, 63 percent are discovered through app store search, according to Forrester. As the mobile ecosystem continues to expand and evolve, there is an unprecedented demand among CMOs and app developers to become more data driven as they seek to improve the effectiveness and profitability of mobile app marketing strategies. Gummicube has developed a proprietary data engine to power its software, which has been validated at scale with live partners. The DATACUBE engine draws upon hundreds of millions of collected data points, then analyzes and cross references the data from a spectrum of mobile sources, including app stores, ad networks and actual mobile end users.
"At Gummicube we know that user behavior on mobile devices is fundamentally different than on any other platform, so we developed big data analytics software for mobile that is truly mobile-from-the-ground-up," said Dave Bell, Gummicube's co-founder and CEO. "With support from our investors and our skilled team of mobile veterans, we are helping marketers and app developers open up new opportunities to build better apps and acquire the most valuable end users."
"Gummicube effortlessly brings the most actionable data to the surface with software that provides an incredible level of visibility into user search behavior within the App Stores," said Kathy Salmanowitz, Managing Director of Golden Seeds. "We were very impressed with Gummicube's technology because it goes beyond basic keyword tools and manual search optimization and is applicable across a broad spectrum of functions within each organization."
"Instead of looking to web search trends and trying to apply these to mobile, Gummicube has invested in creating sophisticated technology that leverages a unique dataset which is truly applicable to the mobile market," said Tel Liu, Partner at F50 Ventures who was also EVP of China-based Tencent and product manager of the popular Chinese social network QQ. "The Gummicube team has a rich history in mobile marketing and their big data for mobile software solution is truly game-changing for any business that desires a more data driven approach towards their product development and marketing initiatives."
Top global app developers and CMOs partner with Gummicube for Mobile Big Data Analytics, Competitive Analysis, App Store Optimization and Market Research. Gummicube's DATACUBE software is available as part of a simple, self-service SaaS subscription, with Enterprise programs that include full account management available to clients who wish to put an expert from Gummicube on their team.
