THE STORY
Hi, I’m Dan, the developer. Scroll down to read my story!
I’m a fairly successful indie app developer. I’ve started a few years ago and now I have more than a 100,000 active users of my most successful app. I am making a decent living off of it, but it’s getting harder and harder every year – competition is getting fiercer, user acquisition costs are going up, while prices and revenues are going down.
I have an idea for a great new feature for this app. From the previous experience and industry info I know that only up to 2% of my users will pay for it if I charge just $0.99 for the in-app purchase. This means I’m looking to make only a little more than $1,000 on this, which hardly covers my costs.

On the other hand, I know I have several hundred hardcore fans of my app. I’m pretty sure they would pay $5, $10 or even $50 to have that feature and support future development. So I would probably be able to raise around $3-4k to fund the development. But I have no way to take advantage of this opportunity.
