Joshfire

Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Paris, France, Joshfire emerged as a software service platform provider. The company's core offering was a platform designed to facilitate the creation of consistent brand and content experiences across all connected devices. It provided a marketing, communication, and innovation application that enabled clients to streamline and industrialize their brand and content applications for any device and platform on the market.

The firm's primary product, the Joshfire Factory, entered a private beta in early 2012 with the ambitious goal of revolutionizing app development in a manner similar to how WordPress transformed blogging. This platform specialized in the development of HTML5-based applications for the web, mobile devices, TVs, and emerging connected objects. Joshfire's business model was centered on its software development applications and it operated within the Business/Productivity Software and Media and Information Services (B2B) industries. The company secured early-stage VC funding from investors including Kima Ventures.

In a significant milestone, Joshfire was acquired by Useradgents on November 21, 2014. Prior to the acquisition, the company was generating revenue and was on a clear growth trajectory within the SaaS and TMT verticals. Post-acquisition, the Joshfire brand appears to have shifted, with the domain now featuring content on a wide array of topics including technology, the Internet of Things, and digital trends, rather than focusing on its original app development platform.
