‘We don't make movies to make money, we make money to make more movies’. -Walt Disney.

We’re not playing the lottery.

The plan: pragmatically make money on software on demand and B2B apps. Reinvest the money earned

on more ambitious projects.

Our approach in a nutshell: many laser-focused attempts on app ideas with clear distribution.

Join us on this journey to build 50 original mobile apps this summer!
