Almedia

Almedia is a Berlin-based advertising technology company that builds a rewarded user acquisition platform connecting users with games and brands through an intelligent engagement engine. Founded in 2020 and bootstrapped without venture capital, the company employs more than 70 people and was founded by Moritz Holländer at the age of 17. Its flagship product, Freecash.com, has connected over 60 million users with more than 1,200 games and brands.

The engineering work spans data-driven optimisation, engagement and rewards platform engineering, and user acquisition systems, with engineers moving rapidly from prototyping to production and shipping daily. The technical focus sits within a broader commercial operation: the platform delivers 2-3x higher return on ad spend, generates over 10,000 daily installs, and has paid out more than $91 million to its community. The company references a $1T addressable advertising market.
