This is essentially a payday loan for app developers, fairly low risk since they can see clear sayed numbers from itunes/google play. Smart Idea.

Thank you! :)

Aprenita is exclusively focused on providing growth capital loans for mobile app businesses. We have developed an innovative, algorithmic rating system that analyzes app store and analytics data in real-time, enabling us to make instant lending decisions based on the information that truly matters. We like to think of ourselves as Capital-as-a-Service for the mobile ecosystem.

Or µVC. No exchange of equity, just debt. Actual debt.

yes, it is a term loan: we extend a loan to our clients, and they repay it in equal installments over a set period of time (the “term”). However, mobile app developers operate at a more accelerated pace than a traditional brick-and-mortar business, which means that the terms of our loans tend to be shorter and the interest rates are more forgiving than a traditional term loan.

The site includes a 'TrustE' seal at the bottom of the page. It's not clickable, so I went to https://www.truste.com/consumer-resources/trusted-directory/

It did not return any results for aprenita.com

I'm not saying I place any faith in TrustE, but it seems strange to use a certification mark which has online verification, if that verification is going to fail.

Also: s/gurantee/guarantee

Good catch, thank you. Recently we did some changes to our website and induced new defects, as always: new code – new bugs. We will fix them by the end of this week. Please check our McAfee SECURE seal here: https://www.mcafeesecure.com/verify?host=aprenita.com

Thanks. I'm curious - what did you change on your site that caused no results being shown when someone searches for you on https://www.truste.com/consumer-resources/trusted-directory/ ?

skovalenko, please take a look at the guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Under these guidelines, "Growth capital for mobile app developers" would be a better title.

But if it's introducing a project or a company, it's customary for the title to begin with the name.

It was changed. The title wasn't on the page.

Hmm... It looks like you already submitted that.

Thank you!

This is awesome. No messing around, straight to the point. Let's see if they meet the "2-3 days" timeframe for an offer!
