Call me to talk about

Early Stage Startups

Bootstrapped GoFastCab to launch service in cities across the US, forming partnerships and acquiring hundreds of thousands of users; sold to $100M+ national transportation firm.

Currently advising and consulting NYC startups on everything from growth strategy/tactics to fundraising (pitch decks).

Connections to 60+ early stage VCs / angels and 100s of founders.

Mobile App Development, Growth and Monetization

Acquired, developed, marketed, and sold dozens of Android and iOS apps. Increased revenue and downloads 10X. Over a decade of software development experience. Growth strategy: funnel optimization via acquisition, engagement, retention, and monetization.

Growth Hacking and Funnel Optimization

Growth Hacking is more than just the overlap of product and marketing. It is about optimizing the entire funnel from acquisition to monetization, while engaging and retaining. Customer service and finance can have as much importance as your retention email marketing campaign. I can identify growth opportunities in B2B, B2C, eCommerce, apps, desktop, SAAS, etc.

Jeremy Schrage answered

Where can we list our app business for sale?

I am pretty sure exitround is inactive and don't think it is the best match for app sales.

Flippa, as Lee stated, is a great place to list your app. Also is Fliptopia. https://www.fliptopia.com

The latter is focused on apps and has their own built-in escrow service, which is usually efficient. Flippa users usually use escrow.com, the last time I checked. I have done several buy and sell side transactions, using both Flippa and Fliptopia.

Good luck,
Jeremy

Exit Strategies

Jeremy Schrage answered

How do I go about selling my app?

The two main online marketplaces for apps are Flippa and Fliptopia. Apps usually sell for 10-20 times the last month's revenue. Listings selling for over $50K are few and far between; must close at $500-$5000. For assets worth considerably more, you would need to find investors or a company where there would be synergy.

For anyone needing help in this area, feel free to reach out to me.

Mobile Apps

Jeremy Schrage answered

Where can I raise money for a toll payment app that I developed?

Congrats, that is quite an accomplishment. You could probably get some angel or VC interest, depending on how well your app scales. At some point, you will be able to get loans based on your income stream. It also depends on how much you are looking for (and need). You already have at least $7000 coming to you.
