AppSumo is a daily deals website for web applications and online services open to markets worldwide. Often, the company will offer one web application to potential buyers, but also offers product bundles for multiple applications that can work in conjunction with each other.
Company
AppSumo, which is located in Austin, TX, was founded by Noah Kagan and David Cramer in March 2010[1]. The company is currently self-funded and launched their first deals in June 2010[2].
Kagan, an early Facebook and Mint employee[3], started the company after seeing there were no product bundle or daily deal sites for the growing web applications category. The core vision was to help solve distribution for startups and eventually all digital goods. Using the daily deals business model, the company takes a percentage of each sale, which varies between each offer.
The company strongly advocates the Lean Startup methodology. In March 2011, AppSumo offered a Lean Startup Bundle of SaaS products for the 2011 South by Southwest conference[4], which aligned with their Lean Startup Challenge. The Challenge included mentoring from startup experts, such as Dave McClure and Eric Ries, along with $100,000 in funding from 500 Startups and Band of Angels.
