Kevel is helping brands everywhere monetize with their suite of APIs. From traditional publishers and marketplaces to cutting edge VR publishers, Kevel offers flexible solutions to help any business drive revenue and seize ownership of their ad platform. 

By equipping engineers and product managers with the APIs they need to efficiently build and effectively launch fully-customized ad servers, Kevel’s award-winning platform handles over 3 billion API requests each day. Kevel has helped industry leaders like Yelp and Ticketmaster shorten their build times by 90%. Klarna and Imgur were able to monetize with Kevel-powered native ads in weeks. 

For far too long, businesses have been at the mercy of big ad tech. Tech giants force you to play by their game with their rules, while compromising your users’ privacy and online experience. And until now, only the biggest companies have had the resources to take back control by building their own monetization platforms. With teams in Durham, San Francisco, Porto, and London, Kevel is working every day to help businesses seize control of their ad platforms — keeping the Internet free, and making it easier and more ethical for brands to monetize their corners of the web.
