About appbackr

appbackr Inc. is a privately funded startup based in Palo Alto, CA. The first wholesale marketplace for apps, appbackr’s approach revolutionizes the mobile industry by solving common funding and distribution problems. App developers use appbackr to fund development and marketing by selling licenses of the app to wholesale buyers (backrs). When those licenses sell in a retail app store, the backrs makes money.  When all backed licenses have sold, the developer reverts to the normal distribution method.  Appbackr enables app developers to raise lump sum cash without giving up equity in the company or product.  Winner of the PayPal X Developer Challenge and SVASE/Cambridge West Ventures Seed Fund Award, the company was also selected as an AlwaysOn Global 250 Company.
