Who We Are

Koah Labs is building the ad network to power the next generation of AI-native products. Our mission is to help publishers monetize and help advertisers reach the right audience — without compromising speed, UX, or privacy.

We’re a small, tight-knit team in San Francisco with backgrounds at X, Apple, Meta and early-stage startups. We’ve raised from top investors and are growing fast with real traction on both the publisher and advertiser sides of the marketplace.

Our Stack

  • Infra: Terraform, AWS, LGTM (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir), Tailscale, Cloudflare

  • Data: PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, Redis, Kafka, Python

  • Core Application: Ruby on Rails, React, TypeScript

  • SDKs: Flutter, React Native, Android, iOS

Example projects
