3. Free App - INVESTORS
Receive money from investors Since programmers
today are very expensive, it is always advisable
to shift these costs. How do you do that best in
this day and age? Right, you try to make others
pay for projects. But how do you do that best?
From our practical experience, we have
summarized which methods are best suited to
actually attract the right investors for an app
project. You can differentiate between business
angels, private investors and corporate
investors. Business Angels You have to
personally convince the so-called Business Angels
of your idea. Mostly, they do not invest as much
as other investors, but they have a lot of
know-how to help you in your career. Depending on
how complex the programming is for the app, an
investment by a business angel can be absolutely
sufficient to cover the costs.

private investors
Get
money from an investor Investors who belong to no
company are called private investors. She gets
to know her very well at events for investors or
on television at the Lion's Den. To convince
them it is important to present yourself and your
idea well. Depending on what stage you are in
with your idea and how good it is, several
hundreds of thousands of euros are being invested
by these investors. The app development is then
secured. companies investors This type of
investor is also best known at various events for
startups. Corporate investors often invest in
millions of dollars in a company, so they can
cover all the costs of app development. For
example, Holtzbrinck Ventures or Tengelmann
Ventures are investing in companies. These
include Flixbus or Zalando.

3. Free App Development - Tip 3 - FUNDING
PRESTIGE PROJECTS
Received funding For your own iOs App Development
is not always own money available. Therefore, it
is necessary to look around and consider all
possibilities to finance the financing of
software development. A popular means,
especially for students is the application, or
the application for funding. Incubators and
accelerators The first step in getting good
funding opportunities and other benefits is to
apply to incubators and accelerators.

Incubators and accelerators help to realize your

programs that are initiated by universities,
municipalities, federal states or the German
state. The amount of funding varies and the
conditions are always different. It is worthwhile
to search properly and to write down all the
relevant funding programs. It is good to know
that there are also industry-specific subsidies.

environmental projects, there are very special
support measures from different sources. A
popular cash injection in the university
environment is the Exist promotion. You can find
the most important funding program of the
Federal Government here .

Insider tip - PRESTIGEPROJECTS What do we mean by
that? Prestige projects are those that are of
interest to developers because of their
particular way of creating them. These
developers can use well for their portfolio of
mobile projects why they are more willing to
offer the creation of free or cheaper. We have
often supported projects that have polished our
portfolio. Convince your contact person of your
idea. Why apps are not completely free Many
people think that they can program their
applications with the help of an app kit.
However, this "kit" is not designed to create
highly optimized apps for the app store. There
are infinitely many, complex, native components
that react differently on each operating system.
There's a reason why app developers still make
good money. Because it is necessary. Regardless
of the programming language, whether web apps or
Java based applications, the development of an
app costs a lot of time! Does app-kits also know
the rules of the app stores? Do these kits know
what purpose your app should
10
pursue? Do you recommend this if you want to
program native or rather hybrid? Let us advise
you free of charge, then we will clarify you on
these questions!
