About Us

Come [legally] hack with us on the data on the largest exchange that’s running our world. Not NASDAQ; the one with way more events - the Global Ads Exchanges, where millions of ads are born and clicked every second. Step behind the curtain of algorithms and competitors that move $1T of annual budgets. Plunge into a world of ISP volumes of traffic, sub-second predictions, and TBs of live, real-world data. Use cutting-edge analysis, ML and engineering or just plain hacker-like thinking to outperform the market. Arpeely is a Data-Science startup, leveraging, data analysis, ML, engineering, multi-disciplinary thinking to gain a market edge and exploit hidden opportunities in real-time advertising. Processing over 350k requests per second and serving over 20B sub-second predictions daily, we build and operate Machine Learning algorithms running on the world’s largest Real-time-bidding (RTB) Ad-Exchanges. Arpeely is a Google AdX vendor and serves clients spanning from startups to Fortune-50 companies.
