RetargetApp, an easier and more efficient alternative to widely used advertising tools for e-commerce, owes the success of the ads it runs to a careful analysis of Big Data on customer behavior and shopping habits. It has recently become a cross-platform application as it is now available for online stores powered by Shopify and BigCommerce. Already backed by TA Ventures and a few angel investors, RetargetApp is now raising a seed round to grow faster and apply Machine Learning in order to take ad optimization to a whole new level.
