Distribution as a service
Building the app was the easy part. Getting people to find it is where most of them quietly die.
Distro is the anti-accelerator. We do not amplify everything that walks in. We judge your app first, make it sharper, then run the distribution that turns it into something people actually use. If Distro backs an app, that means something.
The gap
Builders are great at building. They ship something genuinely good, then post it once, watch it get twelve likes, and move on. The problem was never the code. It was that no one ever taught them how to make people care. Distribution is a separate skill, and it is the one that decides whether the work was worth it.
A great app with no distribution is a hobby. We turn it into a business.
Why we are different
Most agencies will run ads for anyone with a credit card. Good app, bad app, does not matter, they take the money. We do the opposite. We check the app first, and only the ones that clear the bar get through. That filter is the whole point. When Distro puts its name behind an app, the market learns to trust it, and that trust is worth more than any ad budget.
We are not a marketing agency. We are the standard an app has to meet before the world hears about it.
How it works
Every app runs the same funnel. Most never make it past the first step, and that is the point.
We test how it actually works, read every word on the screen, and find the bugs you stopped seeing months ago. Then the questions that matter: does anyone truly need this, and does it make money the right way?
We rewrite the copy so it lands, pick the one feature that matters most and make it shine, and make sure the app feels native to the platform it lives on. It leaves sharper than it came in.
We run the Product Hunt launch, cut short videos for TikTok and Reels, and start real conversations with builders on X. We get the first wave of people to notice.
Launch spikes die fast, so we build what compounds: affiliate programs so others sell it for you, app store optimization, small creators, and search traffic that keeps arriving long after launch week.
How we work together
Every model points the same direction: we only win when your app wins.
A monthly fee to run your distribution, plus 10 to 20 percent of what the app earns. You get a growth team on the clock, and we stay hungry because our upside is tied to yours.
No cash, but a great app? We take 5 to 15 percent ownership instead of a fee and act like a late-stage co-founder who owns growth end to end.
A flat fee for just the Judge and Refine steps. If your app passes, you can then pay for Attention and Grow. Low risk, and you find out the truth about your app fast.
Proof in public
We do our work in the open. Every app we judge and refine becomes a thread, a video, a breakdown of exactly what we changed and why. You see how we think before you ever pay us, and every piece doubles as proof that the process works.
