About us
ObjectBox (Techstars ’17) is a company that helps app / IoT developers develop faster apps faster by ensuring data is where it is needed when it is needed. ObjectBox is optimized for small connected devices. Our users / customers are app / IoT developers. If you are not that technical, think of it as a Dropbox for app / IoT developers. App / IoT Developers use it within the app to ensure the app end users always have the latest data when they need it where they need it. App end users do not need to care; they simply enjoy a smooth app experience. At the core of this solution lies our mobile database, which is 10x faster than the industry leader SQLite and which only takes 1/10th of the code (LOC) to implement.
We are also the team behind the open source projects greenDAO and EventBus, which are used by 30% of the top-500 apps on Google Play. To give some examples: Pinterest, Booking, Snapchat are all using our prior libraries in their apps.
