  • The design brief summary: - Design a beautiful pitch deck template for brands - Display risk warnings without negatively affecting user experience (its a regulated financial service) - Create a simple and Intuitive investor process - Champion the brand (not the raise)

  • During the wire framing stage - the designer focused on the Brand first, before incorporating what we now call Campaigns. We learned that we could separate the regulated equity raise from the main pitch - this meant: - that we showcased the Brand and their story - risk warnings didn't distract unless the user wanted to invest - the Campaign widget could be replaced (with other activities / types of campaigns) With the Investor On-boarding process - the designer and developer broke the user data collection process into 6 simple steps. Results exceeded the brief - user feels their progressing quickly - whilst being instructed about the process.

  • Commercially, brands and consumer companies are more attracted to use our platform because of the modern user interface and user experience. Equity CF is new - and Investors and Potential investors are having a good initial reactions to this game changing deregulation in Australia. We believe that if people have a good experience from the start - they're much more likely to re-invest again and again & more importantly tell others about it.

  • Though the early design phase we introduced the Activity feed - that allows Brands to continually engage potential investors in a similar fashion to how social media companies operate. This is proving to be a very valuable tool to keep all stakeholders on the same page.
