A startup business, comprising a website and two mobile applications for clients and professionals, aims to generate revenue through advertising once it has attracted a sufficient client base, targeting primarily the U.S. market. The applications, developed using the Flutter framework, are available on both iOS and Android platforms, listed on the App Store and Google Play. The company is conducting limited ad testing in the San Francisco area to gauge demand for their services. Feedback suggests that while users appreciate the concept of accessing all services in one platform, there is hesitance to download applications associated with Russia, with a preference for jurisdictions such as the U.S., Western Europe, or Cyprus. Despite believing in the venture's potential success, the company is considering selling due to their inability to relocate from Russia at the moment. They are open to selling 80% of the stock while retaining a 20% share to offer expertise.
Technical infrastructure includes hosting on GoDaddy, databases on MongoDB Atlas and Firebase Firestore, and backend on Heroku with Node.js, plus AWS S3 for image storage, Twilio for SMS, SendGrid for email, and Google Maps SDK and Places API for location services. Feedback highlighted areas for improvement: enhancing the design and language quality of the app and conducting professional testing through an external service before a large-scale ad campaign. The company expresses willingness to assist with relocating their operations to a jurisdiction of the buyer's choice if desired.
