🤝 CONNECTING BLACK BUSINESSES WITH MAJOR BUSINESS ENTERPRISES 🤝



🧐 AT A GLANCE🧐

An early-stage startup needed a web app that c-suite executives could use at a moment's notice. We designed and built their MVP in a two-week sprint and established a long-term partnership as their dedicated development team.




🔬 THE SITUATION🔬

With the growing demand for equitable business contracting, Black Business Warehouse leads the charge in facilitating transactions between Black companies and major enterprises. We were honored to be tapped to build the technology to make it all happen.

Joining Black Business Warehouse's seasoned business leaders, our engineers, and product managers came in with a two-week deadline for their MVP. The job was to build an MVP that they could use to prove the concept and support their fundraising initiative.

To support Black Business Warehouse's goal, the web app needed to be an intuitive and fast product that c-suite executives could use at a moment's notice.




♟ OUR APPROACH♟

With a lean team, we hit the ground running. We delivered everything on schedule, including the global search feature that allows users to search for ANY term in a business profile. This included exact match, partial match, and synonym-based matching.



👏🏾 THE RESULTS👏🏾

Since its launch, Black Business Warehouse was able to create a pool of high capacity Black-owned businesses with over $189M in revenue and three sourcing Partners, The University of Washington, McKinstry, and the banking giant J.P. Morgan Chase. They also received seed financing which put them at a $2M valuation in under 4 months.
