Applecart deploys proprietary technology to run smarter advertising campaigns. We work with some of the nation’s most prominent corporations, non-profit organizations, and political candidates to activate and communicate with key target audiences.
Our core offering, the Social Graph, uses human and artificial intelligence to leverage personal connections for our clients. The Social Graph maps over 4.5 billion relationships, and it’s growing every day.
We got our start in politics, where we have tested and refined our methods on countless campaigns, giving our clients a proven technological edge. Now, we’re branching out beyond political campaigns to tackle new advertising challenges, using relational data to provide decisive advantages for our clients.
We recently closed a $6 million funding round, led by global sports and entertainment leader Endeavor and other prominent tech investors including Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale, Aspect Ventures, former Yelp SVP Michael Stoppelman and Infinite Computer Solutions founder Sanjay Govil.
