Me: Trying to Change the Status Quo in Mobile App Market Data
Nationality: US, now camped in an Eastern American outpost (Berlin)
Twittering: @pdkane & @prioridata
Gamer?: Lots of hours. Lots of parent frustration. I now sneak in 30mins a day on mobile or build cities (Skylines) during sleepless nights
Before going “Start-up”: I analyzed and invested in information companies, mostly in the healthcare space
Talked to: hundreds of publishers over the past 2 years, plus, yes, just about as many VCs

STATE OF THE (APP) UNIONWhat Others Say
“With over 2MM apps across the various mobile app stores, discoverability is close to impossible. User acquisition strategies are just not enough anymore, and it’s been a while since burst campaigns were viable. When looking at all these parameters, one question comes to mind: has the app gold rush finished?”

2016 OUTLOOKFred Wilson’s Summary

“the mobile web is top of funnel, and mobile apps bottom
of funnel” “The mobile web is the window of your store. Users window shop on your mobile website. Getting them to download and install and use your mobile app is like getting them to come into the store”.

“this apps vs. browser argument is so charged partly because it’s a surrogate for Apple’s and Google’s competing visions for the mobile internet”

2016 OUTLOOKWrapping Up
27
• Supply/demand imbalance, broken discovery, and market concentration pose fundamental challenges to the vast majority of publishers
• The “gold rush” is not over, but outperformers will look for synergies and consumer patterns that span across “web” and “apps”
• 2016 is shaping up to be a year where the major platforms take firm stands on their view of mobile – it’s going to be a wild ride!
