Kdan Mobile Software is a privately owned application and software development company based in Tainan City, Taiwan. Kdan also has branches in Taipei, Changsha, Irvine, California, Japan, and South Korea. The company was founded in 2009 by Kenny Su, the company’s CEO.

The company recently completed its Series B round of fundraising, in which it raised 16 million USD in total. Four global firms, Dattoz Partners (South Korea), WI Harper Group (U.S.), Taiwania Capital (Taiwan), and Golden Asia Fund Mitsubishi UFJ Capital (Japan), made up the Series B investment. Kdan previously raised 5 million USD in its Series A round in 2018,.

Inception
Kdan Mobile got its start in 2009 when Kenny Su developed PDF Reader, an application that converts documents into PDF files. The application was well-received by the market and inspired Su to start Kdan.

Initial Products and Growth
Kdan’s flagship applications include the PDF Reader series, NoteLedge, and Animation Desk series. They have since added Markup, Write-on Video, and NoteLedge. Their applications are supported on all operating systems and are available on smart devices and desktops.

In July 2015, Kdan launched a new series of apps (Creativity 365), integrated with its own Cloud services.

The company built upon its experience with PDF technology by successfully introducing DottedSign, an eSign service, in the spring of 2019. DottedSign is available on any device or operating system.

All projects and documents created or edited in the company’s software can be stored on the Kdan Cloud, their online storage service. The Kdan Cloud was released as a standalone application available for download on Apple and Android devices in early 2019.
