I have a LC/ios app (and an Android version) that's been out for about a year, but it needs some updating and a heavy dose of marketing and promotion... neither of which I am currently able to do. This is a solid app with lots of upside (it's in a big sector), inferior competition, and the best underlying data in the world. I'd like to find a company that can help realize the full value of this app and share in the benefits. Any suggestions?
