Got A Great App Idea?
If you've got an incredible app idea, submit it to us and one day it could end up on the phones of millions of people. The strongest ideas are well researched, easy to understand, and we can build them with modern technology.
Whether you already have part of it built, or just drew your idea on a napkin this morning, we're happy to receive it, so long as it's an app idea.
To submit your idea for consideration, please use our submission form.
How We Pick Ideas
If your idea is good enough and has enough support, it could very well be chosen for development. Before it does though, it has to go through a staff review process. Even if your idea isn't made into a real product the first time around, you'll receive valuable feedback. Use it to refine your idea or to submit an entirely new idea to us!
Here are the major steps on the road to selection:
Pitch
Using our submission form, you'll want to pitch your idea to us. Begin by giving us a short introduction to your idea. Provide a brief title, choose the category your idea falls under, and craft the best elevator pitch you can come up with. Make sure it's clean, concise, and as descriptive as possible.
In your pitch, describe the problem and explain the solution you are proposing to solve that problem. To help understand it, provide links to any comparable products that may solve a similar problem.
The last thing you will do is attach any images to your submission. Pictures are not required, but your submission will receive better support if you have at least one visual. If you need to, draw something on paper and take a picture with your mobile phone. As they say, a picture's worth a thousand words.
Review
After submitting your brilliantly innovative idea, it will only be exclusively visible to you and The Geek Plant staff. Each week, we'll choose ideas to move on into consideration (you are contacted via email if your idea moves forward). During this stage, a group of experts meet to dig deep into the ideas and decide which ones have what we call "legs". If an idea makes it to consideration, but isn't ultimately chosen for development, you'll be given feedback on why it was not chosen.
Consideration
At this point, your idea is getting closer to being developed. We'll determine the development needs, requirements, costs, and time line. If you're idea is chosen, we will send you an email congratulating you. Then, we will setup a conference call with you to go over next steps and get the ball rolling!
App Development
At this point, our team of developers will take your idea and make it a reality. We'll do all the heavy lifting:
Development
When your app idea officially joins The Geek Plant family, we'll make sure to build a highly functional and beautiful app. Depending on the nature of the idea, most apps are developed to be ready for the Apple App Store and Google Play store.
Hosting
We'll take care of all the hosting needs and costs required by the app. Also, we'll be sure the app is ready to handle traffic spikes and rapid growth.
Marketing
We'll determine an appropriate marketing plan for the app and make sure it has the visibility it deserves. After all, we want it to be successful as possible.
Support
Since we'll be building every piece of the app, it only makes sense that our team of experts support the app. We'll support it for as long as it remains active and available.
How You Get Paid
Working with The Geek Plant, we will not charge you anything to make your app idea a reality. If your idea is chosen, we will invest the time and money into making the app a success.
Your Cut
For your idea, you will get 25% of net income your app generates. Sit back, relax, and we'll send you a check every quarter.
