Questions founders ask first.
Do I need a broker?
No. You deal with us directly and pay no fees.
What do you need from me first?
The name and App Store link. Numbers come later, under NDA.
Will my merchants find out?
Only when we both agree to tell them.
Do I have to stay after the sale?
Your choice: a short handover, or longer as an advisor.
Tell us about your app.
Only the founder reads it.
