About this ebook
Over the last decade I’ve worked with startups (single founders working on their first MVP) and fortune 500 companies (some product groups are too busy doing business to take risks and prototype app ideas) and everyone in between to build apps. Assembling a team is my favorite part and that’s why I’m going to help you start building your dream team one developer at a time.
My goal in this eBook is to teach you the basic knowledge you need to confidently hire a motivated, hard working, experienced and talented iPhone or Android application developer.
A freelance app developer is like a hired gun, a mercenary. It’s the wild west out here and you are going to need to be prepared.

Finding the Right Freelancer to Build Your Mobile App - Aaron Bronow
Does this sound familiar?
I need an app so I can reach my customers faster.
Between IPAs on a Horizon Airlines shuttle flight from SeaTac to Kalispell, Montana I was sitting next to an actuary friend of mine.

Do you want to know how I can bill my customers $300 an hour?
I said Yes.
Because I have a network of clients who know what I do and know that I do it better than anyone else they know.
The flight attendant brought another round of Elysian IPA. I asked I know you enjoy what you do, what would make your life easier?
He shoots his hand into his jacket pocket and pulls out his Samsung Galaxy S4.
I need an app.
How is an app going to help you?
