In 2008, Andrew co-founded Localytics, an analytics and marketing automation startup. Since then, Localytics has raised $60 million from investors such as Sapphire Ventures, Foundation Capital, and Polaris Partners. Localytics is used in thousands of apps on billions devices, and it’s trusted by the world’s leading companies such as ESPN, eBay, and the New York Times.
