Expo raises $45M Series B, doubling down on cross-platform app infrastructure

Expo—developer of an eponymous React Native framework and a suite of cloud services for building cross-platform apps—has raised a $45M Series B round led by Georgian.

The funding signals continued investor confidence in the “app platform” layer that sits between mobile developers and app deployment complexity. Expo’s pitch is that teams can ship iOS and Android experiences using the same React Native codebase, while Expo’s tooling and cloud services reduce the operational overhead that typically comes with build pipelines, configuration, and environment management.

From a market perspective, this round also matters because React Native development remains one of the most widely adopted approaches for teams that want faster iteration than fully native workflows—especially as companies increasingly expect consistent UI and release cadence across devices. Expo’s cloud services are positioned to become a bigger part of that stack over time, since mobile build and release requirements tend to grow more complicated as apps add features, expand environments, and integrate new dependencies.

What’s next

With the Series B capital, Expo is likely to invest in:

• Further tooling around React Native app builds and deployment
• Improvements to developer experience through its cloud services
• Scaling platform infrastructure to support growing app-release volumes

Investors led by Georgian bring additional emphasis on software infrastructure and developer tooling, not just the framework itself. In other words, this round is less about changing the underlying React Native approach and more about expanding the platform that makes that approach practical at scale.
