In addition to potentially getting a shout out on Entrepreneur.com, which will feature at least one TrepLabs app each week, those making it into the program may also access business, design and marketing support from the folks at Adaptive Media (formerly Mimvi), which live, breath and sleep apps. "There's a misconception that if you build an awesome app, people will find it," says Adaptive Media CEO, Qayed Shareef. "The reality is, it’s virtually impossible to launch a big app without some serious marketing muscle. Our goal is to take unknown apps and help catapult them to widespread adoption by first, making them better and second, exposing them to a large audience of potential new users. Ultimately, it’s a very collaborative relationship between us and our developer partners.” http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/229497
