The Startup Cafe readers get a special deal from Noah of Appsumo. Three readers will get the Appsumo Keynotopia Deal for free. To be eligible:

• Follow @thestartupcafe on Twitter
• Tweet: “I love @thestartupcafe for giving away 3 #keynotopia bundles (worth $120) courtesy of @AppSumo http://bit.ly/eBjq8e”
• Bonus points if you include a picture of your morning beverage of choice.

We’ll announce the three winners on our second post today so be sure to check back and see if you’ve won.

When I first started approaching mobile developers to help me create my app, I had no problem explaining the concept. It was when I pulled out my iPhone and showed them, what looked like, an actual working app that they truly started to believe. Pro Tip: make it very clear that it’s not an actual, working app; can lead to an awkward conversation about why they can’t actually use your awesome new app.

I built my prototype on Keynotopia in a little under an hour. The simplicity of it was amazing and, with a little help from Good Reader, I had a demo-ready prototype on my hands. If you’re an entrepreneur with an idea for an app, you need to get Keynotopia. Even if you have access to an UI guru, Keynotopia is worth every penny and for a short time, it will cost you only 4,000 pennies.

AppSumo has a great deal today for Keynotopia. They’re offering all prototyping bundles (2,000+ vector UI components) for Apple Keynote, Microsoft PowerPoint, and OpenOffice Impress for only $40 ($120 value). Go and get it before the deal ends.
