26 Mobile Apps for Entrepreneurs

From On-Demand Shipping Apps to App-Creating Apps

— July 16, 2015 — Tech
A variety of innovative and highly useful apps for entrepreneurs are emerging that aim to completely change the obstacles faced by those behind early new ventures. Rather than having to hire additional staff or learning new skills in-depth, such innovative apps provide focused, specific solutions to some of the tasks that take the most time and infrastructure to function smoothly.

On-demand shipping services like Shipster offer seamless shipping solutions that are convenient, fast and cost-effective. Meanwhile, mobile restaurant management software can help streamline daily operations so that busy entrepreneurs can save their time and energy wherever possible.

Creative apps for entrepreneurs have the power to level the playing field by empowering small business owners looking to compete at the level of ventures with more established backers.
