How About an iOS App Idea Contest?

2 pointsby TheFullStackalmost 12 years ago
I am launching a new idea to hopefully bridge the gap between the &quot;idea guys&quot; and technical software developers.<p>People approach me all the time asking me to build their app, many of which are good ideas being presented by impressive people. The problem is that most people simply can&#x27;t afford market rate for an iOS engineer, and an equity position simply is not a risk I&#x27;m willing to take.<p>Hence, I am launching (what is temporarily called) the M.V.P. (Minimum Viable Product) program. For a $25 application fee, anyone can submit an app idea. After 200 submissions have been received, we will pick one and develop it over the ensuing four weeks, no extra charges or fees. $25 could potentially develop your app. All submissions will receive, at the very least, our professional feedback covering potential costs, time frames, and technical challenges.<p>The website is located here at www.fullstack360.com<p>A blog post elaborating on the origin of the idea is here at www.fullstack360.wordpress.com<p>Please let me know any of your thoughts and suggestions, as I hope to iterate based on the response!

This looks brilliant :) As a lead generation tool this should work perfectly! Having a minimum barrier to entry weed out all the undecided, and acts as a forcing function to prepare the brief for your project as well as possible, since there&#x27;s money involved. A+ guys!

How do the financials work after the app is created? Do you keep profits, does the idea man keep them, is it a split (at what percent)?

I dont think you will find 200 fools pay 25$ to give you their idea for a lottery ticket that you maybe develop a mvp out of it.
