History
Jeff Haynie and Nolan Wright met at Vocalocity, an Atlanta-based voice over IP company that Haynie had co-founded.[4] After Haynie sold Vocalocity in 2006, the pair founded Web 2.0 application development company Hakano.[5]
In 2007, Hakano, renamed Appcelerator, began creating an open-source platform for developing rich Internet applications (RIAs).[6] Marc Fleury, the founder of JBoss, joined the company as an advisor.[7]
In 2008, Appcelerator relocated to Mountain View, California, and later released a preview of its Appcelerator Titanium product, which drew comment as a possible open-source competitor to Adobe AIR.[8][9]
Appcelerator began to focus on mobile apps in 2009. In June, it released a public beta of Titanium, which added support for Android and iOS app development to its existing web and desktop application features.[10] Titanium 1.0 was released in March 2010.[11]
Appcelerator increased its employee count fivefold between October 2010 and 2011. The company's 2011 revenue totaled $3.4 million, a 374 percent increase from 2008.[12]
Between 2011 and 2013, Appcelerator announced acquisitions, including:
- Aptana, integrated development environment (IDE) company[13][14]
- Particle Code, HTML5 mobile gaming development platform[15]
- Cocoafish, backend as a service[16][17]
- Nodeable, big data analytics company[18][19]
- Singly, API management company in August, 2013.[20]
Appcelerator moved to its San Jose headquarters in 2015.
In January 2016, Appcelerator was acquired by Axway,[21] a company that helps enterprises handle data flows.[22]

Titanium
Appcelerator Titanium is an open-source framework that allows the creation of native, hybrid, or mobile web apps across platforms including iOS, Android, Windows Phone from a single JavaScript codebase.[27][28] As of February 2013, 10 percent of all smartphones worldwide ran Titanium-built apps.[29] As of August in the same year, Titanium had amassed nearly 500,000 developer registrations.[30]
Alloy
Alloy is an Apache-licensed model–view–controller app framework built on top of Titanium that provides a simple model for separating the app user interface, business logic, and data models.[31][32]
Apps built with Appcelerator products are written in JavaScript. Though initially developed as a Web language, JavaScript is increasingly popular for mobility due to its ability to meet the speed, scale, and user experience requirements that mobile development demands.[33][34] According to Forrester Research, JavaScript adoption is setting the stage for the "biggest shift in enterprise application development" in more than a decade.[35]
Funding
In December 2008, Appcelerator closed a $4.1 million first venture round led by Storm Ventures and Larry Augustin.[8][36] Later, in October 2010, the company announced a partnership with PayPal and that it has raised $9 million in Series B funding from investors including Sierra Ventures and eBay.[37]
Appcelerator raised $15 million in Series C funding led by Mayfield Fund, Red Hat, and Translink Capital in November 2011, and a further $12.1 million in a round led by EDBI, the venture fund of the Singaporean government's Economic Development Board, in July 2013.[38][39][40]
On August 25, 2014, Appcelerator announced $22 million in Series D funding led by Rembrandt Venture Partners.[41] Total funding for the mobile engagement platform to date is more than $90 million.[1]
