Wish raised $19 million for its mobile personalized shopping app, and announced it has 25 million users across 50 countries.
The Wish app is targeted at value shoppers (i.e., just about everybody) and is expanding internationally. With plenty of room to scale and a clear business model (targeted ads from merchants based on user shopping preferences) this seems like a good one.
The company is "always hiring good engineers."
