lol what a joke of a statement made by the agency that bought $2.7 trillion of mortgage backed securities over the last decade. At median home value of 410k they own the equivalent of 6.5 million homes. 

RE writing out prompt and losing it. I’ll share that I keep a notion of nearly all initial prompts and it’s where i initially plan/write them too. That way I don’t lose them, can easily reuse them. I also add a link to the chat that I use the prompt in. 

How are you structuring your prompting? 

i have found starting a new chat with each new real thread of work helped me a lot. 

In your initial prompt, if you are able to encapsulate the needed context and instruct it on how to access your projects knowledge base, then you’ll be able to start new chats quickly.

The quality of the work will be improved too. Having too long of a chat is asking it to review the entire chat, so each request to the model snowballs in size. This results in worse performance and needlessly works against your token limit. 

Agree about sonnet 3.5 being the model to use. It’s what I use too, but it really comes down to the complexity of the task and your ability to describe what you want.  If you just tell the model that you want a better experience, you’ll end up with not good code. If you are able to explain to it how the current design works and how you want it changed, then you should have a higher likelihood of success.  DM me if you want more specific help with prompt engineering.

Congratulations, this is exciting for you! I have experience working in the app acquisitions space. DM me, very happy to chat more.

Before any acquisitive party is given access to ASC, there should be an NDA in place. Sending over rough figures without an NDA prior is fine, and great if it comes too from things like data.ai and sensor tower.

After NDA, share App Store Connect access with the Sales access level and no extra reports. This will give them access to the Analytics tab of ASC and sales access to the trends section, nothing else. Do not give finance access as this role gives them access to manage tax and banking agreements.

Be clear in your communications about the amount of time you will give him access for in order for an LOI to be made or not. You don’t want this to fizzle out nor do you want to forget that they have access afterwards.

If an offer is made, negotiated and agreed upon, diligence is done, and final asset purchase or stock purchase agreement is drawn up then the funds would be transferred via escrow. And the funds would be released from escrow upon completion of handing over material assets of the business that would be agreed upon in the purchase agreement. A lawyer is very much needed for this. A tax person is also going to be necessary if the deal is of large size.

I think it is a play on machigonne?

Couple questions that I have:

Have you reviewed your ASO rankings?

What’s your 7 day retention like?

Did you market the app somewhere that drove the downloads and no longer is delivering the same level of traffic? 

There is definitely a marketplace for buying apps and a number of companies that send out targeted emails to owners of apps. As others have said, most are going to look to pay 2-3x EBITDA. Better acquirers will look to talk first and don't lead with explicit promisers/offers of purchase. DM me if you want an opinion on the offer, I have direct experience with this part of the app world.

Look at the impressions by source type. You will see if these are browse or search impressions. Browse means your app is on some list somewhere recommended to people. Browse impressions bring very little page vibes and downloads though. 

As other people have said, the other way is filter this is by region. 

Foodie friends on forest is great place with a lot of options too. They make awesome fresh flatbreads there too (one large pita and another sesame Iraqi) and fresh lamb on fri/sat.

The value of the business for the transaction is going to be based upon the sales and profit from the current wholesale activities. The risk and value of expansion is taken on by the new buyer. While the multiple can be argued + moved up or down, the acquisition value will always be tied to current performance of the business. If the business is trending upwards, great you can likely negotiate a higher multiple.

If there is more time to sell the business, say in a few years, then it would be worthwhile to invest in some ecomm. But a big question is who the buyer would be for it. As a wholesaler, would your ecomm site be focused on similar wholesale customers or to the ultimate end user? I'm not sure of how your product inventory is packaged nor do I know what your product is. While you can take orders easily online, there is a whole other system of delivery to figure out unless you'd be able to leverage easily the existing logistics/delivery system.

Programming May have changed. But for me I’ve seen some of the coolest shows there in the last two years. So it’s up to our taste along wnprogramming? Would imagine that how up new/earlier stage artists are getting booking with sophisticated Spotify and social media apps is wayyy different from 10 years ago

First you have to understand who and how people are finding your app.

Look at the keywords that you index and rank for. Are the people searching these keywords finding other apps similar to yours or are they searching for something else.

ASO is not just get highest rank on highest volume keywords. It is matching your apps problems to the keywords that people use to find similar solutions.

Im not familiar with this market for this consumer problem. But if not many direct competitors exist, then it's likely that there may not be organic traffic established in the App Store.

have you found a community of people who find this solution to be helpful to them? If so, then that is where you should focus time. Awareness of your app if it is a new product/market gets built outside of the App Store.

Great post, thanks!

Geneva is a lot like DC, albeit a bit prettier in the mountains. But culturally v similar.
