Obviously we are going to deliver you the most awesome , and loveable app but initially your app is not going to earn a lot , then how you are going to pay to have it made ?
This is the daily drama for every startups , which every multi billionaire app faces in early days . Now let’s have a look on few chunks of options which might be available for funding of your app .

Are you wealthy enough to fund your app ? Then you must fund your app by your own . Not interested to fund even if you have the capability ? This be assured that no body else is also not going to fund you for your app , as if you don’t have believe in your idea and you are just taking a chance , then who is going to favour your risk ?
Build Cheap
Building a cheap application does not go a long way . Even if you are willing to spend quarter of the million dollar for building an rock awesome app with beautiful design , that is not at all going to work . Instead the alternate solution is to save as money as you can , and spend in making the most essential function initially necessary for your app in order to test and prove your big idea .
Thinking of hiring a cheap Freelancer from Eastern Europe or Asia , who is going to deliver you app with few thousand dollars . They your decision will be wrong , as they only know how to make and run the app , and not at all going to give you the output as world’s best developer can deliver you .
In case you are initially planning to have a prototype of how your app is going to look like with containing the most necessary features just to influence the VC , then hiring a company from Asia would might be preferable . It’s ok to tell user and VC that it is cool idea , but assume app crashes in between !!
Feedback is like life line of the business , as it shows that user are getting engaged with your app and you will be aware of its pros and cons .
Self funding is not only one day job . You must save your income to spend few thousand dollars on prototype . If you believe in your app , then you must risk your money at initial stage . In case you are not willing to , then no one else is also going to favour you .
But now the question comes , what if you don’t even have self funded money for cheap prototype ? Then simply read on this article hahahaha….
