Since the start of the year, I've been doing consultancy work to help fund my start up (https://www.dropbox.com/s/7irkl4riu82a2su/fp_pitch_deck.pdf?dl=0). Mostly it has been developing web applications from scratch.

My offer is quite simple:

=========================

I'm offering severely discounted rates on iOS / Android app development.

My problem:

===========

I'm tired of doing web application development, my clients typically fit into the profile of companies wanting minimum viable products and usually it takes several months/years before that develops into anything bigger. In the meantime if I have to suffer a death by a thousands cuts (splitting my time 50:50 between consultancy and hacking on my start up) - I'd at least like to take the chance to improve my skill-set and work on projects that are actually interesting.

Why discounted rates?

=====================

I'm an accomplished programmer and an effective communicator. I'm easy to work with, I have a very simple process which begins by either interpreting or helping you build your initial specifications.

I have a track record of finishing the job on time and on budget once I have a clear idea of what you want to build. I'm a fast learner and meticulous to detail - if we're building an MVP, there's no reason for me to deliver a code base that resembles a spaghetti ball of mess; I take pride in my work.

My previous clients would say they love working with me because I'm straight forward and simply get the job done with minimal fuss. In fact, I've worked with many of them for a number of years - clearly my work provides them a lot of satisfaction.

However I have no iOS/Android applications in my portfolio at present and I want to rectify that as soon as possible. I don't have the luxury of knocking up sample applications due to issues I mentioned earlier.
