There are 500 million people on Instagram. It’s the world’s biggest social media site behind Facebook. Instagram reportedly grew by 100 million users over the past 12 months.

Business people wrestle with a simple question: How do you turn this captive audience into customers?

On this edition of Out to Lunch we meet the person who has the answer. His name is Dalton Dean.

Dalton’s app, Mainspree, lets you turn your Instagram account into a store.

If you want a break from making a fortune on Instagram, maybe you want to go out for a quiet meal. Or a rowdy cocktail. If you want to make sure the atmosphere where you’re going is what you’re looking for, you can check the vibe on an app called Scenehound.
