TOKYO -- Appier is arguably Taiwan's hottest artificial intelligence startup, offering companies technology to navigate the ocean of consumer data across multiple smart devices to reach their marketing targets.
Founded in 2012, the Taipei-based company led by Yu Chih-han said it has received $49.5 million in two rounds of funding so far from investors such as Sequoia India and Japan's JAFCO. Earlier this year, Appier was named one of Fortune's top 50 AI startups in the world.
