Pext was a mobile messaging application that allowed users to find photos that matched their text messages and transform them into memes. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Mountain View, CA, the company operated in the Communication Software industry. The application facilitated user creativity by enabling them to add hashtags and share their meme creations on third-party social networking platforms.
The business was a venture-capital-backed startup, having received funding from Smart Start Fund. On December 8, 2015, Pext was acquired by Pinterest in a merger and acquisition deal, marking a significant milestone for the young company. Following the acquisition, Pext's operations were integrated into Pinterest, and the application is no longer available as a standalone product.
