DotC United Group, established in 2015 by founder Yi Shi, operates as a technology company focused on global mobile application development and advertising. Based in Shanghai, China, the firm has positioned itself to address the challenges of globalization for businesses, particularly those in the "China to World" (CTW) segment. The company achieved significant financial milestones early in its history, securing a $45 million Series A funding round in July 2016, followed by a substantial $350 million Series B round in June 2017, which brought its valuation to unicorn status.
The company's business model is centered on creating platform-based products that leverage data-driven solutions. It operates across several key areas, including a user ecosystem built around its own portfolio of mobile applications, a programmatic advertising platform, and a business intelligence (BI) platform. Its client base primarily consists of small and medium-sized enterprises seeking to expand their reach into international markets. Revenue is generated through its Marketing-as-a-Service (MaaS) offerings, which provide solutions for sales growth, lead monetization, and customer retention.
DotC United Group's product suite is designed to support the entire marketing and sales journey. The DotC APPS Matrix includes a variety of mobile applications, such as Swift WiFi and Flash Keyboard, which collectively have a user base of hundreds of millions. For advertisers, the Avazu ad platform offers a comprehensive programmatic advertising solution. The firm also provides the FlashCloud B2B intelligence platform, which uses a large corporate database and AI-powered tools to help clients identify and engage with potential customers. Another key product, the FlashClick Partnership Cloud, is an omni-channel solution for managing and optimizing traffic and distribution partners.
