Practical Founders Podcast interview with David and Chris Sinkinson.
Brothers David and Chris Sinkinson attended Queen’s University in Ontario, Canada, when David learned of the problems maintaining the blue emergency phones on campus. He proposed a location-aware mobile safety app, so Chris built it himself, and it worked great.
AppArmor grew steadily to become the most popular mobile safety app and platform in Canada and the US used by over 250 universities.
With no outside investors, they bootstrapped the company to $6 million ARR with serious profits before selling it to Rave Mobile Security for $40 million. They stayed on for another year in transition before writing a book and running a podcast called Startup Different.
