Tapzilla 做什么

TapZilla is a Y Combinator-backed company that launched October 13, 2010 and is taking the daily deal model and applying it to discounts on paid mobile apps. Through TapZilla.com and AppRebates.com, the company has given out more than 25,000 paid applications to its users and has pioneered the method of connecting developers with users by giving away paid applications for free. TapZilla has been featured by TechCrunch and Forbes. Each day, TapZilla features a paid iOS app. To get the deal, the user clicks on the â€œget App Nowâ€ button, which will then prompt TapZilla to ask for your email. Users receive an email with a link to the app in the App Store where they can purchase the app and a coupon code. Once the app is purchased and downloaded, users are prompted to enter the coupon code once inside the Appâ€™s interface. The app can also be prompted by shaking the phone. Once the code is entered, TapZilla automatically puts the app cost in the buyerâ€™s PayPal account or can issue an iTunes gift card.

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Woot for iOS apps.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built Tapzilla to bring the daily deal model to paid iOS apps. Each day we feature a paid app and give users a way to get it for free or discounted by buying with a coupon code we provide via email. The app redeems the coupon code to refund the purchase through PayPal or an iTunes gift card. This connects developers with real users and helps them drive downloads and engagement.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We're currently based in Seattle, WA, and the company will remain here after Y Combinator.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We live and work in Seattle where we both are based. We have strong networks and can build the product here efficiently, so there's no reason to relocate after YC.
