Downstream.ai, a San Francisco and New York-based company building a self-serve mobile programmatic advertising platform, raised $1.5m in seed funding.
The round was led by London Venture Partners with participation from Olive Tree Capital, Otter Consulting, Gramercy Fund, Ride Ventures, Rising Tide, and a short list of industry angels. In conjunction with the funding, Paul Heydon, General Partner at London Venture Partners, has joined Downstream’s Board.
The company intends to use the funds to build out its platform.
