Overview

Nubo Software builds Virtual Mobile Infrastructure (VMI), a technology it pioneered that lets employees run a full corporate mobile workspace on their personal or unmanaged smartphones and tablets without any corporate app or data ever being installed on the device itself. Instead of the usual containerization or mobile device management (MDM) approach, Nubo streams a remote Android environment to the device as pixels: the phone sends touch, keyboard, and location input, and receives only screen output, so corporate apps and data stay entirely on Nubo’s servers.

Founded in 2011 by Israel Lifshitz, who also founded IT service management vendor SysAid, Nubo is a small Israeli company that raised a $7 million Series A in 2016 from Magma Venture Partners and Motorola Solutions Venture Capital. The company positions itself for high-security sectors such as defense, government, finance, and healthcare, where the ability to guarantee that zero corporate data ever touches an employee’s personal device is a stronger control than a containerized MDM policy that can still be bypassed or leak data through screenshots, backups, or jailbreaks.

Because no app wrapping or device enrollment is required, Nubo works across BYOD fleets without the endpoint management overhead of traditional MDM/UEM tools, though the VMI category itself remains a niche approach compared to mainstream containerization, and Nubo has not disclosed funding or major product news in recent years, raising questions about current traction and ongoing investment in the platform.

Innovation Matrix Assessment

Innovation Velocity 2/10

No new funding, major product announcements, or press coverage have surfaced in recent years, suggesting a slow or stalled release and go-to-market cadence relative to the fast-moving MDM/UEM and secure-workspace market.

Operational Value 4/10

A small team that has sustained operations for over a decade under its original founder, but with no disclosed customer count, revenue, or recent hiring signals to gauge current operational scale.

Market Momentum 2/10

The company's only disclosed funding is a $7M Series A from 2016; the absence of any newer round, acquisition, or growth news in the past several years points to weak momentum.

Category Disruption 5/10

Virtual Mobile Infrastructure that streams a remote workspace as pixels, guaranteeing zero data-at-rest on the device, is architecturally distinct from containerized MDM/UEM approaches and addresses a real gap for BYOD environments in regulated sectors.

Real-World Efficacy 4/10

The company cites use in defense, finance, and healthcare sectors, but provides no named customers, case studies, or third-party validation to independently confirm real-world deployments at scale.

Enduring Relevance 4/10

Zero-data-on-device mobile access remains relevant for regulated and high-security organizations with BYOD populations, but VMI is a niche approach next to more widely adopted containerization and modern zero trust network access alternatives.

Why CISOs Should Care

Offers a way to let employees use personal devices for corporate mobile work while guaranteeing that no corporate app or data ever resides on the device itself, reducing device-loss and jailbreak exposure.

What Makes It Different

Streams a full remote Android workspace to the device as pixels rather than installing a containerized app, so there is nothing on the device to extract even if it is compromised or lost.

The Matrix Verdict

35/100 — EMERGING / UNRANKED

A technically sound, differentiated approach to BYOD security that has not shown recent commercial momentum; useful for narrow high-security use cases but appears to have stalled as a growth business.

Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings

Founding year, founder background, and the 2016 Series A are independently corroborated by TechCrunch and Crunchbase. Sector claims (defense, finance, healthcare adoption) and security benefit claims come from the company's own site and are not independently verified with named customers.
