Things are looking up for Appcelerator, with news that the cross-platform app development software provider just raised $15 million in a third round of funding led by Mayfield Fund, Translink Capital, and Red Hat.
“Titanium allows developers to easily create native and HTML 5 web apps for mobile, tablets, and desktops,” according to VentureBeat. According to the startup, its Titanium development platform is now the largest third-party app publisher on both iOS and Android. What’s more, the company says it now has over 1.6 million developers in its ecosystem -- many of which came from its acquisition of Aptana in January -- over 30,000 apps published, and its apps are on over 30 million devices.
Along with continuing to build up Titanium, Appcelerator says it plans to use the funding to expand into Europe and Asia. In addition, the company is also looking to support other platforms with its app development, including connected TVs by the end of the year, VP of marketing Scott Schwarzhoff recently told VentureBeat.
