The Problem: Most people with app ideas don't have the funding or technical skills develop them and even those that do rarely succeed in app stores. The Solution: Create a system that validates great app ideas, leverages a community to ensure product quantity and drive early sales. Dandy is community driven, crowdsharing platform for mobile app development. Our users suggest app ideas and participate in voting and feedback, design, crowdfunding, development, beta testing, and marketing. When apps are made, we share revenue with the entire community based on their level of contribution. Dandy is currently in beta, and a recent graduate of Communitech's $30 million dollar tech startup accelerator, HyperDrive. Dandy released their first crowdsourced app, Picture This on BlackBerry, iOS and Android. www.picturethisapp.co
