The ideal partnership looks something like this: If you can handle development and operations, we can cover the finances (to an extent agreed upon beforehand) and also handle distribution for you. That said, we're open to any form of collaboration.
Full Stack Developer For Analytics Tool
We are looking to outsource the development of our trend analytics tool to a third party developer who can conceptualise, develop and design a trend analytics web application - similar to exploding topics.
ApplyInfluencer Marketplace / Portal
We are willing to fully subsidise the development, operational and marketing costs for a new influencer marketing portal similar to that of Vyro or Bounty - a simple platform where influencers and regular individuals can get paid to create content for businesses.
ChatGPT Wrapper (Any Kind)
Yes, you read that correctly! Given how easy these are for us to distribute and market, we are very lenient when it comes to funding projects that offer some sort of unique functionality on top of any LLM's API (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini Etc...).
These projects must actually have some unique functionality that seperates it from the rest of the AI wrapper slop - the core funcitonality has to be something that can't be squashed by advancements in AI over the next coming years.

ApplyAI Humanizer Development
We are looking for a talented developer who can provide end-to-end development solutions for one of our projects which we are handling externally.
ApplyMicrotask platform
We are hiring a third party developer who can conceptualise and develop a microtasking platform where real users around the world can get paid to complete small microtasks such as 'mystery shopping'.
Trend Analytics Tools
Trend analytics tools like google trends, exploding topics, semrush etc.... are very easy for us to build because we have a proprietary, custom web scraper that can accurately pick up on emerging trends - and that's the hard part.
Using this same API that gives us access to the live updating database of emerging topcis, we can quickly develop a new trend analtyics tool because the difficult bottleneck of building the backend is already solved.
Social Media Tools
Any sort of software products where the intended users are social media creators.
Since we already have a suite of products targeted towards social media creators, anything new in this space would compliment our existing portfolio quite well.
1. Innovation, thinking outside of the box & problem solving: You're going to face problems. You need to be able to prove that you can come up with innovative solutions to bottlenecks you and your product may face. I'm looking for builders who always come up with good ideas that blow my mind.
2. Product vision & competitive advabntage: Think from the perspective of the user and come up with unique features and ideas that improve the UX so significantly that the product stands out far from the competitors.
3. Unique UI / UX that cannot be replicated by AI: STRICTLY no generic AI slop.
........because the ROI is significantly higher.
Some might argue that it's significantly riskier, but that's not always the case for me.
Based on historical data, what inflates the price of businesses is the proof of concept, users and other things you can only get through distribution of the product rather than the development / production.
That's why teeny tiny $10k MRR business sell for $250k+
Based on this, it is evident that most people acutally pay for marketing as opposed to the product itself. You hear many founders say that the hard part is the marketing itself, rather than the building.
But imagine if marketing became so easy and efficient? Well thats a reality for me, and it's the reason why i NEVER buy or invest into high rev. companies ever again.
Buying a $10k MRR business at the conventional sale price as someone who does not suffer from the marketing bottleneck that 99.9% of other buinsess face, is like paying for air.
Because I can get into a $0 rev. high poitential business very quickly, blow it up very easily.
For this reason, i spend most of my budgets on brand new businesses who have founders who:
- never give up
- learn quickly
- aren't afraid to face challenges
- innovate new solutions to solve complex problems efficiently and effecvtively
- aren't afraid to do their own thing and not go with the flow
While most investors put money into the product, i put money into the innovators themselves.
