History


Jeff Haynie and Nolan Wright met at Vocalocity, an Atlanta-based voice over IP company that Haynie had co-founded. After Haynie sold Vocalocity in 2006, the pair founded Web 2.0 application development company Hakano.
In 2007, Hakano, renamed Appcelerator, began creating an open-source platform for developing rich Internet applications (RIAs). Marc Fleury, the founder of JBoss, joined the company as an advisor.
In 2008, Appcelerator relocated to Mountain View, California, and later released a preview of its Appcelerator Titanium product, which drew comment as a possible open-source competitor to Adobe AIR.
Appcelerator began to focus on mobile apps in 2009. In June, it released a public beta of Titanium, which added support for Android and iOS app development to its existing web and desktop application features. Titanium 1.0 was released in March 2010.
Appcelerator increased its employee count fivefold between October 2010 and 2011. The company's 2011 revenue totaled $3.4 million, a 374 percent increase from 2008.
Between 2011 and 2013, Appcelerator announced acquisitions, including:

Aptana, integrated development environment (IDE) company
Particle Code, HTML5 mobile gaming development platform
Cocoafish, backend as a service
Nodeable, big data analytics company
Singly, API management company in August, 2013.
Appcelerator moved to its San Jose headquarters in 2015.
In January 2016, Appcelerator was acquired by Axway, a company that helps enterprises handle data flows.
