About Aqfer
The Aqfer Founding Story
Aqfer was founded in 2018 by ad tech stalwarts Dan Jaye and Raymie Stata. The two realized that companies in the Martech/Adtech industry tend to solve the same recognized and foundational challenges over and over again – those that are important but nonetheless table-stakes, important to solve but don’t create enterprise value. For many marketing solution providers, this revolves around the challenges of ingesting, unifying, and activating customer data.
Aqfer’s founders used the knowledge they had to create a platform that exploited unique efficiencies that allow Aqfer to process massive amounts of data more efficiently and at a lower cost than other methods available. Companies like Annalect, Acxiom, Clear Channel, New York Post, and Acoustic process trillions of rows of data using Aqfer. One customer said that of all their strategic partners, Aqfer “adds the most value and is the most mission-critical.”
Why? We add the most value because we work *with* our clients to develop and launch new marketing data-related products and solutions. We offer companies a lower-risk, lower-cost way to bring things to market by going from do-it-yourself to do-it-together. In short, you buy Aqfer to build your business faster, more affordably, more predictably, and with less risk.
