We love to buy mobile apps.
Interlock Studios buys and builds iOS apps. We give app developers quick, uncomplicated cash exits. Our goal is to make Interlock the forever home for your mobile app.
Your app is your passion, but perhaps it's time for a new chapter. Whether you're facing slowed growth, feeling the weight of maintenance, or itching to begin a fresh project, we step in to help transition your journey forward with ease.
The marketplace can be unforgiving, with buyers often unfamiliar with the iOS app ecosystem, dragging out negotiations, and presenting offers that undervalue your hard work. That's where we differ.
Our team has walked this path, building and divesting digital properties with a vision for better transactions. Interlock Studios was born from a desire to be the buyer we never had: informed, decisive, and fair.
We've streamlined the selling process, designed to be efficient, straightforward, and transparent. We aim for a 30-day start-to-finish process, respecting both your time and legacy. We're here to deliver an offer that's not just about the numbers—it's about recognizing your app's worth and potential.
Three Easy Steps to Sell Your App
We'll Do Diligence
We'll want to ask a few questions and need access to your App Store Connect. This will be done through emails and a video call.
We'll Give An Offer
We won't overcomplicate this. We standardize offers to keep terms simple. We offer both cash and earnout options.
If you agree to the offer, we'll ask a few more questions and dive deeper into the app, and move towards an exit.
You Get An Exit
Then the fast and fun part! Once we've done our homework and you agree to the deal, we send the payment and you transfer the app.
This happens within an hour, and then you're off to what's next!
Let's Compare Your Options
Venture capital sounds great in theory... but it has downsides:
- Massive paper valuation
- 3-6 month process
- No founder cash, just for growth
- You need to commit 5+ years
- Your equity could be worthless
- Pressure to hit 100x+ returns
Private equity can get you an exit, but it's complicated. Here's how:
- Full or partial cash out
- 3-6 month process
- Founders locked in with earnout
- Your equity could be worthless
- Your company gets flipped in 3-5 years
Here's a few of the reasons developers choose us:
- Full or partial cash out
- 30 day process
- We keep the structure simple with cash upfront
- We understand the iOS ecosystem
- We plan to hold your app for the longterm
