Dear Friends
A friend of mine is looking to explore options for selling his cash flow positive game studio specialized in developing mobile games portfolio. Since, most of his team is offshore ( 50 engineers , graphic designers ) and he is exploring options for M&A or raising funds. Can someone guide as what should i suggest him. If anyone is interested, i can do the intro as well.
Hi
We are an offshore company and have developed various corporate applications and few ranging to top download both on iPhone & Android. We charge only $ 30 an hour ! I feel like , i am charging lowest but have developed some really interesting applications ! We also developed ODesk's iPhone App ( those are considering using elance , ODesk etc ) !
I worked with Dan on making iPhone Application using TS webservice. Without any doubt, world wont be same without Dan - He was a great person !
My condolences to Tom, and Dan's friends and family
Thanks ! I have my fingers corssed :)

HI
I applied for YC , however i haven't heard back from YC yet. Will YC inform to unsuccessful candidates, or if i dont hear from YC i should consider myself not-selected.

Hi
We are an IPhone application service company that also submitted business model for YC. We see, a lot of hype around IPhone applications currently, and i wanted to inquire how long will we see the IPhone hype. Any clues ?
I have submitted my applicaiton. But it has very low chances for getting through !
What would be the differences ? There ought to be some differences though ? Native applications were supposedly more powerful !

Hi
Was just wondering , what do people expect of IPhone Apps ? Has Apple store reached a saturation point ?

Wow, this is amazing. My startup, which i submitted for YC startup, which focussing on developing IPhone applications, faster , better and cheaper only charges 30 US $ an hour. Might be because, we are an offshore company. www.geniteam.com
I am looking for a partner for the VC application, let me know if you are interested.

I am thankful to everyone for providing assistance. I have submitted the application based on my understanding.
Can anyone provide suggestions, as how can i "repackage", what we have to pitch to YC-Combinator ?
Hi
I think basic reason would be learning from Technoprenuers and mentors, because we dont have much success stories within Pakistan. With 15 K US $, we can support a team for 3 months.
However, more important perspective is : Can we become a brand for building IPhone Applications faster, better and cheaper ? Can we build applications and charge subscription for maintiance ( we already are charing small amount ) ? Is the segment lucerative enough to make good profits for next 2-3 years ?
This is right analysis. However, ROI might be lesser but risk of failture would be lesser as well ? But, there is chance that we *"might" become a brand for IPhone apps development. If you can build reuseable libraries, then i beleive you can scale faster ?
We have a mixed model : We have developed few reuseable components for quick IPhone development. However, people using those would be developers. I dont have the numbers though. You might consider reviwing our startup at (www.geniteam.com).
Yes, this would be possible. But , see its extremely important to move to USA and learn about ecosystem.
