you next

THE STORY

From two mad ad-men, to software development, to car ads, routes, maps our story has been, quite literally, a winding road.

A knack for (ad)tech​

Having pioneered ridesharing and outdoor advertising with their previous ventures, PandaBirch’s founding members injected the new company with a deep passion for all things CPM, OTC, VAC… and ROI.

An idea hits the road

Among all our moonshots and ideas, one stuck to our hearts: a performance-based adtech platform that would let anyone advertise on cars and calculate real impressions on the streets. All while getting drivers paid. It’s live today and it’s called streetnode.

Bootstrapping our asse(t)s off​

While building out our darling product, an opportunity presented itself to provide cutting-edge software engineering and data science services to Silicon Valley startups, allowing us to hire incredible talent, as well as inject more time, energy and capital into our vision.

Tech to make it happen

Some of the solutions our product needed were nowhere to be found, so we had to find a way around obstacles. We spent years collecting relevant city data to power our impressions-tracking models, we built a new snap-to-road API to optimize routes, and now anybody can use them.
