The challenge
The platform serves three groups. Startups and organisations working on sustainability come to raise money for their projects. Funders come to find projects worth backing. An internal team of relationship managers reviews each project and introduces the two sides. The old site ran directly on Salesforce, so every update needed a developer, and new users struggled to sign up and find what they needed.
What we built
We redesigned the website and connected it to the client’s existing Salesforce data. Startups sign up, build a profile, and submit their project. Relationship managers review and approve each submission before it goes live in the marketplace. Funders browse approved projects and learn from a knowledge hub of research and best practices. After launch, we added sign-up reminders and got the platform ready for users in Europe and the UK.
The result
Startups, funders and relationship managers all work on one site.
The client’s team publishes projects and articles without a developer.
A three-year partnership that keeps adding features.
