Apropose

Apropose, Inc. was a Mountain View, California startup spun out of the Stanford University Computer Science Department in 2013 to bring data-driven software to web design. Founded by Ranjitha Kumar, Jerry Talton, Maxine Lim, and Arvind Satyanarayan, the company built tools for large-scale visual page search and web design analytics — letting teams track design trends, compare a site's design against demographics, and surface prevalent design patterns to inject concrete data into the design process. It raised a roughly $1.875M seed round in 2014 led by New Enterprise Associates (NEA) and Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), with angels including Pat Hanrahan and Nick McKeown. The company has since ceased operations and is permanently closed; it publishes no public API, developer portal, or documentation, and its primary domain (apropose.com) is now parked and listed for sale. This profile is retained as an a16z portfolio-lead record.

Apropose is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Defunct, Web Design, Design Analytics, and Machine-Learning.
