Project
Details: |
Kanchoo is a Hong Kong-based "Software-as-a-Service" (SaaS) business. We help media companies, businesses and organizations to quickly develop and deploy native mobile applications for platforms such as the iPhone.
Developing for the iPhone can be expensive - as much as US$20,000 per project. But Kanchoo significantly lowers the barriers to entry and opens the iPhone platform to a wider number of media publishers. Companies use the Kanchoo publishing system because it's easy to get started and we significantly reduce development time and costs for publishers wanting to access the mobile audience. Our users have described Kanchoo as a "WordPress for iPhone publishing".
Kanchoo launched its beta product and Content Management System in March 2009 and is presently working with newspaper publishers in the United States and the UK. A second version of the Content Management System is scheduled to be released in May, along with iPhone apps for several high-profile clients.
We're looking for an experienced angel investor and business partner to accelerate further development of the Kanchoo publishing system and solidify our lead in the mobile-phone publishing space.
