Said Korkmax and Esra Sinmaz built Appify Mobile, lean and bootstrapped. Without ad spend, they focused on App Store Optimization (ASO) to grow AI apps that caught fire in crowded app stores.

Small tests soon turned into real traction. Their AI apps in beauty and effects gained organic installs, reviews confirmed demand, and revenue doubled in months. With momentum strong, they decided it was the right time to sell.

Listing on Acquire.com brought buyers fast. By the second week, serious conversations were underway. Clean documentation, clear differentiation, and organic growth positioned Appify Mobile as a low-risk, high-potential acquisition.

The exit gave Said and Esra both freedom and resources to focus on new projects.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How ASO can drive traction without ad spend

  • Why documentation builds buyer trust

  • How timing can turn growth into a clean exit

3 lessons from Said & Esra’s exit:

  1. Preparation and clarity build credibility

  2. Differentiation makes products stand out

  3. Timing your exit is everything

Whether you’re building to keep or selling to move on, Said & Esra’s story shows that preparation, clarity, and timing make all the difference.
