Jim Payne.

Founder and CEO of CloudX. Building the agentic future of mobile advertising.

In 2010, I co-founded MoPub to give mobile publishers better monetization tools. We grew this into the largest mobile in-app ad exchange. Twitter acquired us in 2013. In 2017, I co-founded MAX, which replaced the waterfall auction with real-time bidding. AppLovin acquired MAX in 2018.

In 2023, I officially launched Breakpoint Capital, a seed stage investing and incubation platform. We are investors in AI native companies like Higgsfield, Toma and Andon Labs. We also incubated CloudX from the inception stage.

I started my career as a Software Engineer and Product Manager at Google. BS in Computer Science, MIT.
