VCLeaders
Knowledge Sharing & Community Building Platform
About the client
VCLeaders is an educational program for VC professionals. VCLeaders’ users are current and aspiring VCs, angel investors, fund managers, entrepreneurs, attorneys and advisors who want to improve their understanding of the venture capital ecosystem. VCLeaders’ goal is to educate the next generation of extraordinary investors who would boost the growth of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in CEE.
The challenge
The solution
We decided to dedicate the vast majority of our effort on good user experience and product design. Having agreed with the client on prioritization, we conducted a user story mapping workshop resulting in the top-notch interface design on the website. Also, the workshop enabled us to understand that Venture Capital funds want not only to be a part of the community but also to have access to valuable materials through the website.
Meaningful brand identity for a community of exceptional people.
Results
We built the website that allows users to join the VCLeaders community and to search for e-books and articles recommended for venture capitalists. In order to make sure that content is up-to-date we created an admin panel for our client. Admin panel enables the client to post blog posts and update e-books available on the website.
