Anyone interested in selling their old IOS, Android, and Web applications?

On September 1st , Apple released that they would be purging old apps from the App Store. According to data from Adjust, a business intelligence firm for app marketers, developers have abandoned 50 percent of all apps since May 2015. What will you do with your old source from your past ventures? I’m sure this code is just sitting in your code repository.How about sell it? I want to buy it...

Startup Elementary sounds great because entrepreneurship does start young. I like that this environment will encourage young kids to pursue their dreams. Hopefully it doesn’t lead to young entrepreneurs quitting school to follow dreams. LOL! Just Kidding…
I understand the world dominion thing and that's every ones goto answer. I am sure it was Secret's answer too but you see how that turned out. Launched in 2013, raised $35M, and closing doors in 2015. I think Campus Job has an awesome business model and definitely qualified. My thought was too much cash... way too soon... for this type of business.
Congrats Liz! This is awesome! I like that your company pivoted to a new model. I am in the process of doing this myself. Why do you need so much $$$ for site that recruites part-time employees? Seems like a big whole to dig yourself out of. Just sayin

It would be smart for Uber to acquire Instacart. Instacart has the knowhow and Uber has the network and technology. It seems like a smart business decision that will lead to world domination.

I don't know if it is a reflection of San Fransico being insane but it does make me question the Techstars program. They funded a company that sells followers.
Re:Samuel Colt's “YC app” for the Summer 1851 batch on Monday March 30, 2015 @12:14PM (#9290496)
Hilarious!!! I did not like the application. I am glad it was a joke.
The article has the black CEO, Frederick, dressed in all black with gold chains and talks about him selling drugs. The article leads with the stereotype and not what makes the company unique. I believe we need more positive images of black men. Again, let me say I love the work that CEO and Pigeon is doing but I do not like they way this article portrayed him because it is perpetuating the stereotype that all black men are drug dealers and thugs.
I am TORN because I love that YC is funding African American founders. I love the traction that the company has and that the team is solving a real problem. BUT I hate how it feeds into a stereotype that all black men are criminals. It is exhausting how hard we have to work to get others to see blacks in a different light.
Great Story!! I love the founder’s journey! Nothing was handed to you. You worked hard for everything you have! I can identify with that. This company would have kicked butt at SXSW because we did not see many fitness companies there this year.
Re:The First Browser Dedicated to Developers Is Coming on Monday November 03, 2014 @01:01PM (#8552304)
This is marketing at its best. Create a browser that developers like to use so they can build Mozilla compatible products for consumers. Then more the consumers will adopt this browser as their default browser.
The incentives are nice but the "True" ride-sharing organizations would take offense to calling Uber and Lyft a ride share. They are currently defined as a TNC- Transportation Network company.
Re:64-bit and iOS 8 Requirements for New Apps on Monday October 20, 2014 @04:29PM (#8484310)
This makes sense to me and easier to maintain the code. I won't have to support older versions. And my app can take advantage of the 64bit architecture.
If it is a software product. A provisional patent will not apply. You can apply for a design patent and file as a micro entity so your patent will cost the same as a provisional patent. I wish you the best!
