Prefundia opens doors to mobile apps

Prefundia (prefundia.com), the pre-launch platform originally built to service the crowdfunding industry, has now opened its doors to mobile apps.

Since its launch in June 2013, Prefundia alumni have earned over $7.5M on sites like Kickstarter and IndieGoGo, achieving funding amounts 2.4 times higher than Kickstarter’s average and 14.9 times higher than Indiegogo’s.

Following success in the crowdfunding realm, Prefundia is allowing pre-launched mobile apps planning on launching in the Apple App Store, Google Play Android Market, and other mobile platforms to use its service as well.

“Prefundia is designed to allow people with an impending release create a ‘coming soon’ page to amass a following prior to launch,” said Jeff Schwarting, co-founder.

“In both the mobile app stores and crowdfunding sites, popularity and visibility are largely driven by how quickly a new release gains traction - typically, products that do well on day one are picked up by the popularity algorithms and given more visibility, which drives much of their success thereafter,” said Daniel Falabella, co-founder.

Prefundia alumni achieve success 689% more often and raise 412% more money than those who don’t use the platform, and the founders expect to see similar results for mobile apps.

“The model just works. People who build a community first and launch second see much greater success than those who launch first and try to build a community second,” said Schwarting.

The changes are effective immediately and are expected to grow Prefundia’s userbase by 10x.
