Key notes: Build your own app
Office address: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
Description: The idea for Knack (formerly AppNowGo )was born partly from frustration. Our team has built a lot of web applications. In fact, we've all worked at web agencies where that was our specialty. Once you build enough web apps you begin to see patterns. We started to recognize that each application required a lot of the same code, tasks, and widgets. It was frustrating to keep re-inventing the wheel. We wanted to eliminate some of this repetition, so we began developing tools that could be used as building blocks to jump-start each application. The results were a big reduction in development time. We started with a prototype and we were able to prove to ourselves that the idea was a good one. We now had a viable product to start building. We made it official and founded Knack . DreamIt Ventures, an early stage investor in AppNowGo. Fortunately, we were able to convince others that it was a good idea as well. DreamIt Ventures, a startup incubator in Philadelphia, accepted Knack as part of their Summer 2010 program with a seed stage investment.
