CTOs on the Move

Modo Labs was founded in 2010 by Andrew Yu and a team of mobile developers from MIT. This team created the original MIT Mobile Framework with the vision to enable college students to easily create compelling, rich mobile websites and native applications using data and content from university back-end systems and other data repositories. That framework became Kurogo, a mobile-optimized middleware platform. In Japanese Kabuki Theater, Kurogo means the “stagehand” who serves the main characters in the background. Similarly, Kurogo works in the background to enable the rich mobile apps.
