Company Summary

Splitmo believes that the TV app market will follow a similar trajectory as mobile apps. Initially it will start with mobile apps that use the TV and then it will quickly migrate to native apps running on TVs or STBs. We are building out a suite of dual screen applications to capitalize on this emerging market that cover a wide range of genres. We have launched a photo app already and are prepping a poker game and fantasy football ticker app.
