Twitter app store oneforty gets more funding
- tonystubblebine 17y agoI'm curious to know what hypothesis is behind funding third party app directories. I'm pretty sure oneforty isn't the only one to get funding. Is there a business to be built here that would be worth $20M? I know a lot of people assume these are acquisition plays, but I'm pretty sure there has to be an alternative theory. Is this a trojan horse? Get your start in one thing and use it to expand into something more lucrative?
- ivankirigin 17y agooneforty can make money with sponsored application sections and a cut on selling applications. So it can be a profitable business on its own. but first they need eyeballs.

- Timothee 17y agoI was thinking the same thing (and doing the same math) when reading about an iPhone app directory recently getting $2M in funding. Is it that I just have no idea how much this kind of things can be worth in the end? Or, as you say, is there more to it and if so, what?
