What is the App Marketing Accelerator?
A 30-day online program for app founders, whether your app is live or about to launch. Your app analyzed personally by Darius before kickoff, four live workshops (Maria Menzies leads week one), written feedback on your work every week, and the AI content systems behind 12 million views. You leave with a marketing system you can run yourself and a 90-day plan.
How do I get in?
Book the 30-minute call above. You meet Darius on Google Meet, he confirms you are a fit, and if it is a yes you get the payment link on the call. Your seat is confirmed once the $2,500 is paid. Ten seats, first paid, first in. If there is no seat for you in October, you hear why on the call and you go to the front of the waiting list for future cohorts.
How much does it cost?
$2,500 per app, paid in full on acceptance. The personal analysis alone is sold on its own as a $1,500 audit; here it is included with four workshops, weekly written feedback and the systems. No refunds: seats are limited because Darius does the analysis himself.
When does it start and when does it close?
Applications close Friday, September 25 at 11:59 PM Pacific. If you applied before then, you can still book your call and pay for your seat until the cohort starts. The cohort starts Thursday, October 1. One live workshop a week; the exact slot is announced to accepted founders and chosen to work for the US and Europe.
I get downloads but nobody pays.
Week two is Monetization Mastery: onboarding, paywalls, pricing, trials and offers. You leave with a prioritized list of changes to ship.
I'm already good at content and marketing. What if conversion is my real problem?
Then you do not need help getting attention. You need help turning that attention into downloads, active users, and paying customers. We will look at what happens after someone discovers your app: your App Store page, onboarding, paywall, pricing, trial, and offer. You will find where potential customers are dropping off and create a clear list of improvements to test, so more of the audience you already attract becomes revenue.
Is this right for my app?
It is for founders of a consumer subscription or AI app who can implement changes themselves or through their team. Your app can be live or pre-launch. Teams above $10k a month wanting senior direction are better served by the private engagement.
What do I need to have ready?
An app you are building or have already launched, the ability to change it, 5 hours of work a week, every week of the accelerator, and Claude Code or Codex for the AI workflows. Software subscriptions are not included.
Is there a guarantee?
No outcome guarantee and no refund. The commitment is specific: personal analysis of your app, four live workshops, all the resources for life, and written feedback every week. Whether you implement is up to you, which is why there is a call before any money changes hands.
What happens after the 30 days?
You have a 90-day plan you can run alone. There is an optional way to continue with the group, announced in week four. October stands on its own.
