Online platform for the startup ecosystem

CASE STUDY

Startupers is an online platform and specialized social media for startups and entrepreneurs, powered up with chatbot and community

The idea of the Startupers is to engage the community in helping startups reach targets. Every business is sharing their challenges via presentations and requests by sending them to the chatbot and community, then the Startupers advisors are helping them to solve their puzzle.

CHALLENGE

The platform is rich in functionality so the challenge was to build a simple UI with a responsive interface for all platforms - Android and iOS, mobile web and web version. Social media feature backend challenges coping with the high load and short response time. Internal communication and business logic elements make the task even more complicated, because of strict principles of the GDPR and non-traceability of users. 

An additional challenge was caused by the lack of stable and powerful solutions for mobile PDF presentation and custom QR code generation - existing web services and libraries were not matching customers’ expectations.

SOLUTION

Every model of the system has its own flags and triggers that perform tasks asynchronously, this enables client apps (mobile and web) to work flawlessly, while the backend is performing tasks according to the load. API is built in a way to reduce the number of calls in order to work stably during high load periods, without losing the user-friendliness of the application. Frontend had several stages of refactoring and restyling for the simplification of the UX and to avoid the multilayer overcomplicated architecture.

For the mobile PDF reading and custom QR code generation - the platform’s microservices were developed to match the customers’ expectations.

BENEFITS

This is the only platform of this kind, and it is a flexible, yet powerful, tool with a high capability for the future expansion and growth of the functionality.

FINAL RESULT

Building a new product from scratch is a challenge. The team is increasing their own experience in line with the platform, which matures up with each pivot, MVP and beta. The released version of the product is ready for the market and was launched during the Startup Grind 2020 in Silicon Valley. The next release of the product is being developed.
