Growing Mobile Startups is Tough

Growing Mobile Startups is Tough
•  Mobile marketing is tough. ASO vs SEO.
•  Mobile engagement is tough. MAU, DAU, Churn
•  Mobile monetization is tough. Mobile CPM is still relative
low.
•  Mobile payment is still not 100% ready. iOS users still
worth more than Android users.
•  Device fragmentation. iOS or Android first?
•  Big guys are all eating your lunch. Tough to find
opportunities that Facebook, Apple, Google, Amazon, Baidu,
Alibaba and Tencent are not working on.

Investors should stay away from…
•  Social network or platform. Be careful with any startups calling
themselves platforms.
•  Utility Apps. Mail & Carousel (acquired Dropbox) were both shut
down.
•  Browser. The world is dominated by big browser players.
•  Delivery & Transportation. Get ready to compete with Uber –
service delivery as a platform will come soon.
•  Gaming. Small studios will need to raise substantial capital to
acquire users.
•  Consumer Messaging. Whatsapp, WeChat, Facebook
Messenger, Viber, Snapchat – is there room for another messaging
app?
