Bizness Apps Launches Marketplace, Student Developer Scholarship to Enable Sharing of Custom Functionality Within App Building Platform
SAN DIEGO, CA, July 20, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Bizness Apps, a do-it-yourself app building platform that enables resellers to build mobile apps for small business clients, today announced the launch of the Bizness Apps Marketplace and the Bizness Apps Student Developer Scholarship.
About the Bizness Apps Marketplace
"Allowing students to access our app building platform for free was a great first step, but now enabling them to cut into their tuition bills by selling goods in our Marketplace and potentially earning a Scholarship seemed like a great way to get student developers involved."
Andrew Gazdecki, CEO, Bizness Apps
With the launch of the Bizness Apps Marketplace, mobile app developers can now create their own widgets, plugins, graphics, themes, templates, and other custom functionality to share with the broader mobile app development community.
“We’ve built a community of thousands of resellers using our platform to sell mobile apps to small businesses,” says Andrew Gazdecki, CEO. “Opening up our platform via the Bizness Apps Marketplace allows our resellers to share custom functionality, ultimately giving them access to features that will help them more successfully sell to different types of small businesses.”
About the Bizness Apps Developer Scholarship
In conjunction with the launch of the Marketplace, Bizness Apps also announced the launch of the Bizness Apps Student Developer Scholarship. Gazdecki, who opened up his company’s app building platform to college students free of charge earlier this year, sees the Scholarship as a natural extension of his company’s focus on fostering student entrepreneurship.
“As an entrepreneur who got my start in a college classroom, fostering student entrepreneurship has always been near and dear to my heart,” says Gazdecki. “Allowing students to access our app building platform for free was a great first step, but now enabling them to cut into their tuition bills by selling goods in our Marketplace and potentially earning a Scholarship seemed like a great way to get student developers involved."
Students interested in submitting custom functionality to the Marketplace have until the end of the year to get their submissions in, with the student developer who submits the most adopted submission earning a $5,000 academic scholarship. Students must first complete vendor verification prior to submitting their ideas.
