Apptopia's acquisition marketplace allows developers to sell their mobile apps, including ownership and intellectual property rights, source code, art assets, users, and more.
"The interest for apps among the investment community has exploded in recent months. Acquisitions like this overwhelmingly demonstrate how big the opportunity is," said Jonathan Kay, co-founder and COO at Apptopia. "The fact that our buyers will see a 6-7 month return on their investment is unbelievable. Our marketplace is full of opportunities with payback periods sub 12 months. I expect these apps and portfolios will be acquired extremely quickly."
"The Bluecloud acquisition provides us with a strong portfolio foundation. At AppBin we have more than doubled the amount of capital at our disposal, and plan to continue to acquire and expand our portfolio," said Yehuda Seinfeld, Traditions Capital Management. "We welcome the opportunity to collaborate with additional top developers, as we tap into the significant global demand for mobile ads."
"My ambition is to become a top publisher in the mobile gaming space. To meet this goal, I needed to streamline my portfolio for it to accelerate with the velocity I want," Carter Thomas, Bluecloud Solutions. "Money aside, I wanted the experience and credibility of closing a six figure deal. It has less to do with the dollars and more about meeting the right people and understanding how to operate at a new level. The Apptopia team helped with every piece of the puzzle. I will work with them for many years to come."
