Fast-growing developer of internationally popular Android apps
About Holaverse
Holaverse, legally known as Shanghai Network Technology Co., Ltd., was a mobile application studio established in Shanghai, China, in 2012. The company specialized in developing personalization applications for the Android operating system. Its product portfolio included applications designed to enhance the user experience, such as animated and interactive custom lock screens, online gaming, and home screen user interface applications. Two of its key products were Hola Launcher and Omni Swipe, which together amassed over 460 million downloads and activations.
The company's CEO was Brian Xie. Under his leadership, Holaverse entered the international market in late 2014. The firm's business model centered on providing a smooth and easy-to-navigate user experience for Android users. By 2016, Holaverse had appeared in the top 10 worldwide Android developer lists alongside major tech companies.
Holaverse successfully raised a total of $80 million over four funding rounds. The first round occurred in September 2012. A significant Series C funding round on March 30, 2016, brought in $70 million, led by Addor Capital and supported by investors such as YI Capital and Qihoo 360 Technology. This capital was intended to attract talent, improve existing products, and expand into mobile gaming and social platforms. Despite its initial success and substantial funding, the company is now considered deadpooled, having ceased operations around December 2017. The provided domain, codigovenezuela.com, belongs to a separate, unrelated entity—a foundation supporting the Venezuelan community in Spain—and has no connection to Holaverse.
