Pango Group

What Pango Group does

Pango Group is a consumer digital security platform that provides a portfolio of seven core products—VPN, Password Manager, Antivirus, Robocall Blocker, Identity Theft Protection, Data Broker Opt Out, and Medical Monitoring—delivered primarily through a B2B2C model in which enterprise partners embed or white-label the products for their end customers. The technology stack includes 830 bare-metal VPN servers across 125 global locations on 6 continents, support for WireGuard, Hydra, and OpenVPN protocols (including ARM64 Windows), and Bitdefender-powered antivirus. SDK and API infrastructure allow partners to integrate the suite directly into their platforms, with deployment options spanning Off the Shelf, White Label, and Hybrid configurations. Target verticals include Financial Services, Cybersecurity, Insurance, Telco, and Travel, with named partners such as Bitdefender, Zander Insurance, AOL, Kaspersky, BOXX Insurance, and UltraVPN.

The company generates revenue through four streams: white-label and SDK licensing to enterprise partners (per-user or subscription pass-through), direct consumer subscriptions across sub-brands such as Hotspot Shield, Betternet, VPN360, UltraVPN, Identity Defense, Intrusta, PassWatch, Roboshield, and PrivacyMate, advertising on free VPN tiers through third-party ad networks (Unity Ads, Ironsource, Digital Turbine, InMobi, Kochava), and technology partnerships. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the sales motion is enterprise field sales complemented by a formal Partner Program launched in 2025.

Pango Group is a subsidiary of Point Wild Holdings, Inc. (f/k/a Pango Group, Inc.) following a December 2024 merger that unified Pango, Aura, and other brands under a single holding entity. Operating subsidiaries include Anchorfree LLC, Betternet LLC, Total Security US LLC, TouchVPN LLC, and VPN Proxy Pro LLC. The company maintains US headquarters at 250 Northern Ave, Floor 3, Boston, Massachusetts, and a European headquarters via Pango GmbH in Stans, Switzerland, and holds EU-U.S., UK Extension, and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework certifications. The leadership team is led by President Neil Feather, with CFO Adam Belmonte, CTO Dr. Zulfikar Ramzan, CCO Tom Serani, and GM Jay Schiavo, supported by VPs and heads across strategic operations, support, marketing, and channel management.

• Lookout: Mobile-first consumer and enterprise security platform providing mobile VPN, identity protection, and device security. Adjacent competitor in the consumer security space with overlapping product capabilities to Pango's mobile-focused offerings.
• Aura: Sister company under Point Wild Holdings offering a directly comparable consumer digital security suite (VPN, identity theft protection, password manager, antivirus). Operates primarily D2C with the same product mix as Pango's white-label suite and shares the same institutional investor base.
• Surfshark: Consumer VPN, antivirus (Surfshark One), and identity protection service, now part of Nord Security. Competes directly with Pango's consumer-facing VPN brands (Hotspot Shield, BetterNet, VPN360, UltraVPN) in the same price tier.
