4INFO, Inc. was a San Mateo (originally Palo Alto) California advertising-technology company founded in 2004 by Pankaj Shah and Zaw Thet. It began as an SMS content and alerting service — Nielsen called it the largest business-to-consumer SMS content provider in North America in 2008 — then pivoted in 2010 into mobile display advertising with the AdHaven platform, a mobile ad server, audience data-management and analytics stack sold to publishers, aggregators and national advertisers. Its later product was an identity graph: patented technology ("Systems and methods for statistically associating mobile devices to households") that statistically resolved mobile devices, set-top boxes and connected TVs back to a single household so brands could target and measure across screens. mBlox bought the legacy SMS business in 2015, and Cadent acquired the remaining company in January 2020, folding the identity and cross-screen targeting technology into Cadent's advanced-TV platform. 4INFO no longer operates as an independent company: 4info.com is retained for email only and publishes no A or AAAA record, so there is no website, developer portal, API reference or machine-readable contract of any kind on any 4Info host, live or archived.
