Mission Statement
Kevel’s vision is that most publishers will want to build user-friendly, privacy-first, in-house ad products, like Amazon and Facebook have done. To date, doing that is difficult, as third-party tools are inadequate, and it could take years to do in-house. That is why Kevel exists: to provide APIs that make it easy to build custom ad platforms for sponsored listings, native ads, internal promotions, and more, thereby driving new revenue and enabling them to take back the Internet from the monopolies that threaten it.
