Nimbus is a publisher-first adtech company founded in 2017. Nimbus sprung out of Timehop, the premiere and groundbreaking "memories" app. Timehop was looking for a way to monetize via programmatic advertising, tried the existing solutions and found them lacking. So they built their own. Nimbus' patented auction technology is fast, server-to-server, transparent and OpenRTB based. It's also the world's first privacy-focused supply-side solution, preserving publisher's first-party data control. In 2023 Nimbus became a standalone company focused on the programmatic auction space in mobile apps and CTV.

It is headquartered in New York City, but still welcomes remote workers. We prefer our employees to be really, really kind. Nimbus is a publisher-first adtech company founded in 2017.
