AppBistro

AppBistro, operated by MMTG Labs, was an application marketplace for the Facebook Pages platform that let brands and page administrators discover, install, and manage third-party apps to boost engagement and reach on their fan pages. It also built AppGalleries, a white-label app-store platform. A TechCrunch Disrupt 2010 finalist, the San Francisco startup raised a $550K convertible note (Sand Hill Angels, 500 Startups, i/o Ventures, Zelkova Ventures, Seraph Group, and angels including Alfred Lin) and was acquired by mobile ad network InMobi on 2012-07-13, after which the product and its five-person team (co-founders Ryan Merket and Nalin Mittal) wound down. The company is defunct and appbistro.com no longer resolves; no live API, developer portal, or documentation surface exists to enrich.

AppBistro is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Facebook, App Marketplace, Social Media, and White Label.
