Ask HN: Where I find investors that understand mobile?
I am co-owner of Kidoteca, we make apps for children.
While looking for investors, we noticed a certain pattern, they all are impressed by how fast our free users are growing, and our total amount of free downloads, they also like that we already have some revenue...
But they all also dislike that we do not reached break even, and that we are nowhere near the "Top10" numbers.
We explain to them that we need massive amounts of marketing money (everything else we are already covered and can run this way for a year or two even), because mobile you either are really very popular, or you are not popular at all, thanks to how the mobile stores work.
But most of them instead prefer to wait us to break even, except they don't understand that if we ever break even, we won't need them anymore (because when you reach a break even in mobile with several people working, you outright skyrocket in revenues).
Where I find investors that understand this? I am quite tired wasting time with investors that want to invest but then give up because we don't have break even yet or don't have a high iTunes/GPlay store ranking.
