Announcing Apptile’s $2.5M seed round

We’ve raised a $2.5M seed round for our no-code platform enabling Shopify businesses to build fully customizable mobile apps.

At Apptile, we’re on a mission to enable every DTC brand to build beautiful mobile experiences. Our platform enables Shopify businesses of all sizes to build powerful mobile apps and improve customer loyalty and retention. Today, we’re excited to announce that we’ve raised a $2.5M seed round from Mankekar Family Office and Ramakant Sharma (Co-founder, Livspace.com).

Why are we building Apptile

Over the past decade, there has been a significant shift in the way consumers shop online. Personal computing has gone mobile, and smartphones have become an extension of ourselves. As customer acquisition costs go through the roof, large brands have started focusing on retention. Best of them have cultivated customer loyalty on the owned marketing channels, most importantly, mobile apps. However, building mobile apps and running an effective retention strategy remains out of reach for most brands.

Apptile changes that. Our no-code platform simplifies the process of building world-class mobile apps. For the first time in the world, it is possible for brands of any size to build compelling, fully customized user experiences on the mobile channel, and launch native mobile apps on Android and iOS. We are already seeing our partner brands offer premium experiences to their best customers (we call them super-fans) and run powerful mobile-first loyalty/membership programs. 

Acing Email and SMS? You’d love the Mobile app

In today’s competitive ecommerce landscape, building customer loyalty is crucial to surviving. Brands that fail to offer a personalized shopping experience will struggle to retain their most loyal customers. So far, if you were serious about retention marketing, you’d launch a loyalty program and deploy engagement campaigns on Email and SMS. As owned marketing channels, these are already very effective. Mobile apps take retention marketing to a whole new level. What if launching your mobile app was as easy as running email marketing?

We have designed the mobile app development platform from the ground up to do just that. With an intuitive interface, you can create stunning mobile apps that integrate seamlessly with your existing tech stack. Our cutting-edge platform offers powerful marketing automation tools that allow you to run hyper-personalized promotions and engagement campaigns seamlessly. With in-app content experiences and push notifications, you can deliver customized interactions that captivate users and cultivate lasting relationships, driving brand loyalty and sustainable growth. 

The best part? You get all this without building a tech team or hiring expensive agencies.
