Case Study: Here on Biz achieves a 10-week iPhone launch and cross-platform portability with Appcelerator Titanium

Here on Biz Builds Business on Appcelerator Titanium

Here On Biz, founded by Allen Hartwig and Nick Smoot, is a mobile networking app that extends the LinkedIn ecosystem with geo-discovery of nearby professionals, real-time chat and a location-aware rolodex. The founders—frequent travelers who experienced a gap in business-focused networking tools—set out to build a curated solution for professionals who need to connect quickly while on the road.

They built the iPhone app on Appcelerator Titanium in just 10 weeks, using a single JavaScript codebase (with MongoDB/Node.js), Marketplace modules for TestFlight and Flurry, and a path to easy Android porting. The app has kept a five‑star App Store rating, been downloaded in 18+ countries by industry leaders and VCs, earned broad press coverage, and is scaling toward targeted market saturation and a planned seed round.
