At Proto.io we were thrilled and honored to be included as a valuable tool for entrepreneurs to build their mobile startups as part of Facebook’s new FbStart program. We can’t wait to see what sort of companies flourish with our tools under the new program.

Here are some of the ways that Proto.io will empower FbStart entrepreneurs to build better mobile startups:

  • Proto.io is an easy way to create fully interactive high-fidelity mobile prototypes in minutes that look and work exactly like your app should.
  • Before spending time on coding, you can use Proto.io to create a realistic prototype of your app in a fraction of the time, to get feedback from investors and potential customers.
  • Using Proto.io to achieve product market fit is faster, cheaper and easier.
  • With the launch of our new native apps for iOS and Android, you can test and demo your prototype on the actual device allowing you to develop a better mobile user experience.
  • Invite an unlimited amount of reviewers to test and leave comments on your app. Proto.io makes it easy by giving you a short url to share which can be opened via web browser or a mobile browser.
  • …and we’re not just about mobile. You can prototype for a variety of platforms including smart TVs, gaming devices, refrigerators, alarm clocks, cars and Android Wear.

If you missed Facebook’s FbStart announcement, here is a summary of the new FbStart program:

  • FbStart is a new program to help mobile startups at different stages in their life cycles build and grow their apps.
  • Facebook will do this by providing access to the right tools for entrepreneurs. They’re providing a package of useful resources — including Parse Pro, Facebook mobile app ad credits, invitations to special events, and tools from industry leaders, like us.
  • There will be two tracks for the program, based on where the app is in their growth.
  • The combined value for track one, Bootstrap, is $5,000 and the combined value for track two, Accelerate, is $30,000.
  • Developers with iOS or Android apps available to the public are eligible to apply. To learn more, visit fb.me/start.
