Press
Applico was profiled in the Wall Street Journal in an article called "Inside the App Culture". The article related Applico to the fast-growing mobile startup based in NYC seen in the HBO show Girls and describes Applico's strategy of focusing on mobile technology: "If there's an art, it's not so much in making a pretty app as it is spotting the next wave before the competition does."[6]
Applico licensed its data product, Platform Insights, to WisdomTree in 2019.[7] WisdomTree launched PLAT, an ETF composed of platform businesses, and announced that Applico’s data was involved in the creation of the ETF [8]
