3 ways to jump-start your app idea on a shoestring budget

At MotionMobs, we consult with a lot of start-ups. We help early stage tech companies and individuals with app ideas, some who have already secured investments and others whom are still looking for their angel. We also help large, established companies create new products that build additional revenue channels.

While we aren’t legal experts, here is the advice that we give clients who are feeling protective of their ideas to help ease their concerns.
