GetJar is the world's largest independent app store with over 450,000 apps and 80 million downloads per month. It uses a paid discovery business model where developers bid for exposure of their apps similar to how websites bid in Google Adsense. Some of GetJar's exclusive app launches on their platform include early versions of Angry Birds, Zynga Mafia Wars, and Millionaire City. Founded in 2005 in Lithuania, GetJar now has offices in Seattle and Silicon Valley and has raised $42 million over several funding rounds from Accel and Tiger Global.
