Ask Me Anything About App Business (100+ Apps, 10M+ Downloads, 1 Liquidity Event)

[EricFromCanada]

Sounds like a pretty cool approach! And the current review trend bodes well (though you need many more for the number to be significant to the point you can make decisions from it)

Now take this for wat it's worth, but in my mind for this to make significant impact/money it seems like more of a sales job than anything. If you can demonstrate somehow that aside from being cool, your software also measurably improves public speaking performance, then you can start doing things like approaching companies and getting them to buy it en masse for their employees.

Speaking-based businesses like Dale Carnegie, TED, etc would probably be interested in the technology as well (though you'd probably want to repackage it and sell it with a different pricing model). What do you think?

Would be very interested to hear more about the physical product. A friend of mine has done 7-figures in profit selling VR hardware and becoming the leading supplier in a certain overseas country (where he also lives).

First off, I would like to say thanks for all the insight, I really appreciate it. I think the idea of approaching companies and getting them to buy it en masse for their employees has a lot of potential, and I definitely see it as a potential possibility later down the line as a way to expand.

Also, I really like the idea of reaching out to speaking-based companies, but am unsure what would be the best way to get their attention at this stage where my company is fairly small. I am curious to hear your thoughts on whether I should reach out to companies like TED now, or wait a while until my company has built itself up and has more to offer.

In regards to the physical product, I have just launched a website that showcases the product. The idea of the product is that it's an all in one box that would go hand in hand with the app by providing a bunch of tools and resources to help people improve their public speaking. I would love to hear any feedback you have on the website/physical product and if you think it has any potential.
