Get to know Aernoud

We’ve been around for a while now. Time to introduce the people behind SellAnApp. We will be introducing the team on a rolling basis. Let’s start of with Aernoud Dekker, founder and executive director of SellanApp.

Aernoud started his career whilst studying computer sciences, as Founder of ‘Unix Support Nederland’ and later as Founding Partner at the first commercial internet provider in the Netherlands; Internet Exchange Europe. He continued his career as entrepreneur active in enterprises focussed on retail, ICT and financial services. He’s been on the forefront of innovative ISP, Online, Financial and Retail businesses for over 20 years.

  SellanApp is his latest project. Here’s Aernoud about his passion for bringing ideas and technology together: “For me there a two kinds of people. People who know how to get from A to B and people who know where A and B are. Bring them together and great things will happen. SellanApp is about that. Bringing people with great app ideas together with people with skills and money to turn app dreams into app store reality. My role is to make SellanApp a reality. As first founder the idea for SellanApp came into my mind after I found out how many people have really cool ideas for apps. It would be a pity if these idea would never see day of light due to lack of access to resources like knowledge or money to make their idea reality.

 In these days where crowd-sourcing and crowd-funding really gain traction in the online world, we have the opportunity to work together realizing cool apps which are rapidly becoming the new currency on the internet. Already there are more apps downloaded than songs. There are hundreds of thousands of apps, but there are even more people and business who have cool things and bright ideas to share. We are only scratching the surface now. Most apps haven’t been build yet!”

Fresh out of the Kitchen!

Haven’t you noticed? SellanApp has a brand new corporate design. Completely in line with our vision, we’ve crowd sourced our way through the jungle of icon design, logo design and corporate identity in general.

As we mentioned before we’ve entered SellanApp as a project on 99 Designs. It was amazing to see that we got over 130 entries on our briefing. One even more stunning than another. After a process of making long- and shortlists we choose the designs you now see on all our channels. Main reason for this decision was because of its reflection on what SellanApp is all about: simple, clear and creative. 

Along with the new corporate design came a new ‘high level pitch’. To sum up what we do, we came up with the next:

We love Apps! They make life easier, efficient, rich and fun. We believe that there should be a simple and connected way to transform all your brilliant ideas into an actual mobile app.“

“You Have an App Idea… Now What?

Reflects it all, we say!

Now stay tuned as we’re working on the video that will explain it all!

SellanApp on 'Capital on Stage' and Symbid

We are still recovering from Capital on Stage yesterday. What a day! Let’s recap: We talked to six potential investors and chit chatted with almost every colleague start-up at the conference. Sore throats were healed with drinks at the end of the day and even more great conversations with fellow attendees. Seemed like there was not enough time to talk to all these starting companies sharing the same passion for entrepreneurship in general.

Did we mention we launched on Symbid simultaneously with our presentation on COS? For all of you who don’t know what Symbid is: “Symbid is the first “equity-based” online investment platform that enables individuals to directly invest in start-ups or existing ventures in exchange for an equity stake in the company!” Sounds a bit like SellanApp doesn’t it?

With five subscribers on the first day we couldn’t be happier. With a total amount of 50,760 euro we already earned 34 percent of the funding we need to get SellanApp up and running. You can invest too! From as low as 20 Euros you can earn a share in SellanApp. Take a look and participate!
