Mobile app and equity crowdfunding ecosystem infographic

There is no denying the immense scale of the mobile application marketplace. While countless developers, companies, and entrepreneurs compete for a foothold, launching a successful mobile app remains a significant challenge. Numerous hurdles and moving parts must be navigated along the way. At AppVested, we believe we have crafted the ideal model to overcome these challenges. By carefully filtering through AppIdeas submitted by everyday consumers—the very people who will use these applications—we gain a competitive edge in bringing only the most promising concepts to market.
Through our multi-faceted AppValuation process, we identify app ideas with the highest potential for long-term success and strong revenue generation. Once we pinpoint a high-potential concept, we create an offering on our platform for savvy investors (AppVestors) to fund in exchange for equity in the application. Once fully funded, AppVested takes charge of development, strategic marketing, and the app’s official launch.
By bridging the gap between the massive mobile app industry and the growing equity crowdfunding space, we solve one of the most significant hurdles developers face—securing sufficient capital to compete effectively in a saturated market.
The mobile application market continues its impressive growth trajectory. As of 2024, it is valued at $289.17 billion and is projected to reach $1.103 trillion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 21.55% from 2025 to 2034.
At the same time, the crowdfunding market is also experiencing significant expansion. In 2024, it was valued at $1.41 billion, with forecasts predicting it will grow to $4.50 billion by 2032, reflecting a CAGR of 13.8% over the forecast period.
In total, the combined economic value of mobile internet and crowdfunding is approximately $290.58 billion in 2024, with significant room for growth in the coming years. For comparison, the collective revenue of corporate giants like Walmart, Shell, BP, ExxonMobil, Volkswagen, Toyota, Samsung, Apple, Ford, General Motors, and General Electric amounted to roughly $3.8 trillion in 2024.
These figures highlight the enormous opportunities presented by integrating the mobile app and crowdfunding markets, offering investors unique and lucrative entry points into two of the fastest-growing industries today.
