Plentiful resources for your app are near.

We started a little funding platform of our own to power the development of creative app projects. This year, we have $100,000 to spread amongst 10 developers. Those selected will learn that The Build Fund is about more than just money.

Make Moments Matter Apps for All

We love seeing new ways to reward. Writing movie reviews, sharing pictures of tiramisu, or crafting the perfect playlist–all could be rewardable moments. We have rewards for every situation, so if you think of the right moment, we’ll be ready.
Here’s some ideas:

  • All time high-scores Sharing stories
  • Consecutive workout days Finishing chapter 17
  • Not snoozing your alarm Traveling back in time

Smart People Ask Questions.

Especially When Concerning Money.
Do you take an equity stake in our business?
Nope, your creative project is yours and yours alone.
My app is already live… should I apply?
If you believe your existing app could use more work or marketing, you are still eligible for selection. All you need to do is to apply and integrate Kiip. It's easy, trust us.
How big can our team be in order to be eligible?
We will be funding teams smaller than 10 full time people.
My app doesn’t fit into “Games” or “Health & Fitness,” should I still apply?
Absolutely. We’re always looking for creative ways to reward others. Developers have rewarded users with Kiip in all sorts of apps from recipe-sharing and productivity to social networks and photography.
What should I tell you about my game or app?
We encourage you to be creative in your presentation, and explain why your idea deserves the extra boost. It can be in any format - as long as we can see it!
When is the deadline for submission?
We are announcing our final choices on May 30th, but are selecting winners on a rolling basis. So, the sooner the better!
How many developers are being funded?
We’re choosing 10 developers at $10,000 each.
What can I use the money for?
We encourage you to use the money for the development and marketing of your game or app.
What happens during the selection process?
We review your game or app with the materials you provide us, and reach out to you when we’ve made a decision.
Can multiple apps be funded?
No. One app per developer will be funded, but feel free to submit as many apps as you want. We'll review all them, promise.
Do I have to integrate Kiip to be accepted?
Yes. Small developers can (and do!) top the charts, and we want to be there with you.
Are existing Kiip developers eligible?
Yes, but only if the title you’re applying with did not have Kiip integrated prior to March 20th, 2013.
