Revitalizing the software community

In order to create better applications, software creators need to be empowered. We can help increase software distribution, monetize existing distribution, and provide a feedback loop so software creators can learn about their users. We also need to improve the ways that people interact with applications. Software is too hard to find, impossible to discover, and not intuitive enough to manage. We will enable people to discover and manage software by delivering the best, most relevant applications to them.

The team's history

OpenCandy was started by founding and early members of DivX, at which we were responsible for distributing hundreds of millions of DivX software downloads, and now we want to use what we've learned to help the software community. Software distribution is of immense value but largely untapped, so we started OpenCandy to democratize this value. Now we're backed by top-tier investors and partnered with some really great software creators.
