Received $3.1M in Seed funding

Turnpike’s open-sourced framework developed by URX is called to help developers create deep links to every page in their eCommerce app. URX not only made the product noticeable and easily accessible, but it also analyzed every product page in an eCommerce app and creates lots of ad versions to sell each piece. Then it linked the products to each other and the people who might want to buy them creating ad solutions that perform best for every particular segment of buyers.
