compelling pitch and right approach to potential
investors. The United States ranks first in the
world of startups with 71,153 in 2022. Therefore,

stand firm in the competition. Many app startup
ideas fail for a number of reasons. For instance,
the app complexity, i.e., laden with multiple
features, the more its development cost will be.

cases when startups often fail to collect
adequate funds. Thus, end up working on a limited
budget and are forced to compromise the apps

startups need to employ certain effective
techniques to get investors attention.

Seed Funding or Angel Investors Angel investors
are high-net-worth individuals who invest their
own personal capital at an early stage of an app
startup. They invest small amounts of money and
offer additional support and guidance to the
startups they invest in. Angel investors can be a
valuable source of funding for app startups, as
they often have a deep understanding of the
technology and startup ecosystem, and can provide
valuable insights and connections to help
startups grow and succeed. They may also be more
flexible than other forms of financing, and may
be willing to take a higher level of risk in
exchange for the potential of a higher return on
their investment. The average seed funding raised
may vary between 100,000 to 2.2 million.

Bootstrapping or Self-funding It is the process
of starting and growing your own business idea on
your own money. Bootstrapping involves using
personal savings, revenue generated from the
business, and low-cost or free resources, rather
than seeking external funding. Bootstrapping is a
good option for entrepreneurs who want to have
control over their company. By self-funding you
will avoid the potential drawbacks of outside
investment, such as giving up equity or incurring
debt. By relying on internal resources and being
creative in finding ways to minimize costs and
maximize revenue, entrepreneurs who choose to
bootstrap their businesses can achieve
significant growth and success. However, it may
take longer to reach certain milestones and may
limit the overall scale of the business.

Crowdfunding Crowdfunding is soliciting small
contributions from a large number of people,
typically via an online platform such as
Kickstarter, Crowdfunder.com, RocketHub,
Gofundme, etc. This is an effective alternative
to traditional funding options, such as venture
capital or bank loans, and can provide startups
with access to a large pool of potential
investors. To successfully raise funds through
crowdfunding, entrepreneurs need to create a
compelling pitch that highlights the unique
features and benefits of their app, and create a
sense of excitement and urgency around their
fundraising campaign.
