In a world obsessed with AI chatbots and generative models, Moloco built a machine learning empire that powers the ad tech backend of the internet—while flying completely under the radar. They don't need your attention; they monetize everyone else's.

"They rank #398 globally with 151M monthly visits—not as a consumer app, but as the invisible infrastructure powering mobile advertising."

The tech stack tells a story of performance over polish. jQuery, Tailwind, and Bootstrap suggest a lean, functional interface built for speed, not show. No React, no Vue—this is infrastructure that prioritizes reliability over trends. The 359,560 backlinks come from publishers and partners embedding Moloco's ad tech, not from content marketing. They're being linked to because they're essential, not because they're viral.

• Revenue-per-employee ($228K) rivals top SaaS companies despite being in ad tech
• 45% direct traffic proves enterprise stickiness—clients don't need to search for alternatives
• Top keyword is actually a competitor's name (Applovin), showing they're the technical alternative
• Korean founder (Ikkjin Ahn) building a global B2B platform with minimal brand marketing
