The Unicorn app is a platform for putting tech founders in touch with investors -- known in the industry as angels -- in order to get more and better apps off the ground. Meta though it may be (i.e. a startup app that received angel funding so it could let other startup apps receive other angel funding), the app promises to make the economics of tech easier for beginners on both sides of the equation.
For angels, the Unicorn app simplifies the process of finding great ideas. No longer will angels have to sit through countless meetings buoyed by identical concepts; now they can search through an intuitive interface. For startup founders, approaching angels can be intimidating, and the wrong pitch might ruin a great idea. Unicorn lets startup ideas stand on their own merit.
