Boris Glants, CTO, Tonic Health
You're seeing more and more of your customers using an iPhone, iPad or Android.
Your sales guys (and you!) keep getting asked if you're offering an app.
You think by offering an app, you could easily charge your existing customers more.
You believe the right mobile app will help you grab marketshare.

We want to give the clients we work with a significant boost by advising and executing on the optimal mobile strategy. To achieve that, I only work with designers and developers I trust and have extensive experience with. Unfortunately, that means we've only got capacity to take one new client over the next 3 months or so, and maybe 2 or 3 next year.
Sincerely,
Einar Vollset, PhD

I have a proven track record of developing apps that increase sales, revenues and market share for my clients.
Leave your details here, and we'll arrange a time for you and me to have a confidential discussion about what opportunities mobile presents for your business.

Is any of the following happening to you?
You would rather spend the time and money (3-6 months of full time training) to get your in-house web developers up to speed on iOS and Android development before you start adding customers and increasing revenues.
You're not willing to move fast and iterate. We specialize in building (fully functional and beautiful) prototypes that encompass the core functionality and tests your riskiest assumptions. Once your app is being used and your users are adding feedback, you can add the features they're asking for (instead of spending money up front on features nobody will use).
You believe that apps are a "nice to have", instead of a vital defense against nimbler upstarts and an incredible opportunity to increase revenues and market share.
You think you'll get the kind of break through apps that allow you to dominate your market by hiring mobile developers from Elance.
You're an unfunded startup. I act as a technical advisor for a number of startups in Silicon Valley, but these are typically well funded and/or I know the founders personally.

Comcate is the leading provider of web based software to cities and muncipalities nationwide. They leveraged our expertise to add a mobile component to their core web-based offering, something their existing customers happily paid more for, and which helped them sell into more cities.
We also assisted in transitioning the technology to their internal team, allowing them to take ownership of the code as mobile traffic increased for their clients.
