Project overview

Swaileap partnered with a leading startup ecosystem to develop a sophisticated platform inspired by Crunchbase, designed to connect startups and investors seamlessly. The project encompassed a full-spectrum development process, including ideation, prototyping, branding, UI design, and custom programming using WordPress. The platform features a dynamic startup database, multi-step registration for diverse user groups, SSO integration with Circle for community management, and robust technical SEO optimisation. Our tailored solutions empower the startup community, enhancing connectivity and resources for both startups and investors.

Challanges and problems

The primary challenge was to build a platform that could handle complex user management, facilitate detailed startup profiles, and provide multi-level access controls. Additionally, the registration process needed to be multi-step and tailored to different user groups.

Our solution

Our team designed and developed a dynamic startup database, user accounts, flexible user management, community integration, and multi-step registration. We also created individual startup pages, guides, and blogs. The result was a fully functional platform that significantly improved the visibility and accessibility of Belarusian startups, streamlined investor interactions, and supported community engagement.

Startup database with flexible access level

The core of the platform, featuring detailed profiles with dynamic search and filtering options. This helps startups showcase their ventures effectively and enables investors to find suitable opportunities efficiently. By providing comprehensive data and easy navigation, it enhances the visibility of startups and simplifies the investment process.

Individual startup pages

The platform offers advanced search and filtering options, allowing users to find startups or investment opportunities based on specific criteria quickly. 

Each startup has a dedicated page, managed by the startup itself, ensuring up-to-date and accurate information. This autonomy allows startups to present their best face to potential investors, keeping their profiles relevant and engaging.

Miltistep registration and user accounts 

Custom registration processes for startups and investors collect all necessary information efficiently. This ensures that the platform captures relevant data for each user type, facilitating better service delivery and user experience.

Separate accounts for startups and investors allow tailored experiences. Startups can register, manage profiles, and handle inquiries, while investors can browse, connect with startups, and manage their investment interests. This structured approach ensures relevant interactions and efficient management of connections.

The platform includes an event scheduling and calendar module, allowing users to organise and track upcoming industry events, webinars, and networking opportunities. This feature helps startups and investors stay informed about important dates, facilitating better planning and engagement.

Library, guides and blog
