Are you a startup looking to bring your mobile app idea to life? More than ever before, startups are putting mobile at the forefront of their strategy rather than focusing on desktop experiences.
All of these startups (now successful businesses) launched with a mobile app first and soared through the app store to establish themselves as industry leaders and mobile juggernauts.
Over the last 10 years, we’ve worked with startups to create apps in every category, from enterprise apps to on-demand apps and more. We love working with startups—here’s why:
Globally, apps take up more than 80 percent of our time spent on mobile. Consumers are choosing mobile first, and when they’re on their phones, apps are where they spend the majority of their time.
An app is considered a primary solution for consumers, so creating one should be a primary consideration for startups. Even more than building a mobile-responsive website, designing the perfect app solution is the best way to keep your audience happy and engaged with your brand from launch.
There are thousands and thousands of new apps launched in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store every month, so market competition and differentiation is tough. And once users download it, getting them to come back and open your app day after day is a challenge.
This is one of the toughest tasks for a new company. While your primary focus will be on developing your product and acquiring customers, you’ll need to ensure you have the capital required to see the project through to the end. Getting your app built may press the budget upfront, but it will put you in a much better position when it comes time to make your pitch.
Building an app takes time. If you’re a new startup, you have a lot of tasks to juggle. Hiring an external development team to lead the build will ensure from the start that you have the people and resources required to launch on time.
When creating an app, startups often have to make a decision between outsourcing app development and hiring a team. If you’d like to learn how we’ve helped startups navigate this decision, get in touch:
