We serve developers by helping them make the money they need to keep building great social applications. We bring advertisers unique solutions that leverage social data and the rapidly growing audience in this space. We offer a suite of self-service tools for both publishers and advertisers, as well as a direct sales team to engage with top advertisers.

Though a young startup, Social Media Networks is already a top 20 ad network, profitable, and generating significant revenue. SMN raised Series A funding from Charles River Ventures last October, so we are on solid financial footing. Our profitability allows us to control our destiny as we grow as a business.
