Project Writeup

Inspiration

Last week, my friends and I visited a local spot in DC called Mr. Pollo. We were blown away by the quality of the food. When we tried to leave a tip, the owner refused — he said the best thing we could do was spread the word. That's where this idea really took shape. Small businesses often offer goods and services that rival or surpass bigger competitors, yet rarely get the chance to showcase what makes them special. We wanted to change that.

What It Does

We help small businesses become investment-ready, and help investors filter opportunities by investment size, sector, and stage. It's a complete ecosystem where businesses can build and showcase their story and find the right matches all in one place.

How We Built It

Challenges We Ran Into

Deciding on a payment structure for our business model and figuring out how to plan and implement everything within a single day.

Accomplishments We're Proud Of

Integrating Solana and MongoDB into a cohesive, functioning product within the hackathon timeframe.

What We Learned

How to collaborate effectively as a team — cutting scope when needed, planning ahead, and storyboarding before building.

Scaling the platform to support larger businesses and expanding our ecosystem of investors and founders.
