Vice President of Marketing

1. You have an app idea but don’t
know how to bring it into reality
2. You made a basic MVP, now you
need to put the big app pants on 3. You can’t/don’t wish
to hire internal employees
4. You need a lot of help FAST
5. You’ve gotten funding at
LAUNCH Festival to take
your app to the next level
YOU KNOW YOU NEED HELP WHEN…

Good
Fast Cheap
Fast + cheap will lead to a very
different development partner vs.
fast + good.
Decide on your priorities.
PICK TWO

BUDGET

5. @elliotte_belliotte.bowerman@sourcebits.com© SOURCEBITS 2015. A GLOBO COMPANY.
Your budget is a major filter when working with development partners. A fixed-cost system vs. an hourly rate both have
their pros and cons.
VARIABLES

6. @elliotte_belliotte.bowerman@sourcebits.com© SOURCEBITS 2015. A GLOBO COMPANY.
Because every app is unique, ranges will vary, but keep in mind that “You get what you pay for” is very true in mobile
app development.
