“Localytics works with really ambitious companies who want to do big things. Point solutions in our space lack valuable insights on how users are behaving on mobile. There’s a lot of noise in the supply chain for the buyers and we’re freeing them from this complexity by leading with simplicity and intelligence,” said McColgan.
