Namo Media was a technology startup providing in-stream advertisements for mobile applications. It was acquired by Twitter in June 2014 for between $50M[1] and $100M.[2]
It was founded by former Google employees Gabor Cselle, Nassar Stoertz, and Tural Badirkhanli, who raised $1.9 million in seed funding from investors that included Google Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, and Betaworks.[3] Cselle had sold his previous startup reMail to Google in 2010.[4] Namo Media's advertising SDK for Android and iOS allowed developers to integrate native advertising into applications with streams of content,[5] and was the first to implement server-side location control of native ads.[6] In April 2014, Namo Media launched ad carousel upgrade.[7]
Namo Media's location control technology was integrated into Twitter's MoPub advertising solutions in October 2014.[8]
