■ AI-SUMMARIZED FROM 1 SOURCE ▸ TIMELINE

Expo, the developer of an open-source React Native framework and cloud services for cross-platform app development, closed a $45 million Series B funding round led by Georgian.

The funding will support Expo's expansion of its platform, which enables developers to build applications for iOS, Android, and web from a single codebase. Expo provides both an open-source framework and commercial cloud services that streamline the app development process. The platform reduces complexity typically associated with native development across multiple operating systems. Georgian led the round, which marks a significant investment in the developer tools space. The capital will support product development, infrastructure scaling, and team expansion. Expo competes in the cross-platform development market alongside frameworks like Flutter and traditional React Native setups. The funding underscores investor confidence in tools that accelerate app development cycles and reduce engineering overhead. The company has become a standard choice for developers seeking to maximize code reuse across platforms while maintaining access to native capabilities when needed.
