Designing a B2B2C Investment Platform for Wealth Management Advisors: A Product Design Case Study with Sowefund

I collaborated with Sowefund, a French co-investment platform that enables anyone to become a shareholder in start-ups and scale-ups alongside professional investors. My role focused on designing a new vertical dedicated to Wealth Management Advisors (WMA), allowing them to manage their clients directly on the platform.
The main objective: enable WMAs to add their clients, offer them co-investment solutions, and manage all associated data and transactions. All while maintaining compliance and a seamless user experience for both advisors and their end clients.

Key Contributions

UI Kit Foundation : Established the design system foundations (colors, typography, spacing, border-radius, and shadows) ensuring consistency across the new vertical from day one. As the project evolved, I created components on-demand, keeping the system lean and adaptable.
Advisor Onboarding Flow : Designed the login and registration experience using a referral code system, linking each advisor to their organization while maintaining security and ease of use.
KYC Integration : Conceptualized the profile validation process for both advisors and individual investors, ensuring compliance with French financial regulations without creating friction.
Client Management : Designed the flow for advisors to add individual investors (including entering personal information and allocation details) while keeping the interface clear and error-free.
Dashboard & Oversight : Created an overview screen allowing advisors to monitor all their clients, transactions, and wallets at a glance, balancing density with readability.

Process & Collaboration

From the outset, I worked hand-in-hand with the Product Manager to map out user flows in detail, validating every step early to avoid gaps and ensure a solid foundation before moving to high-fidelity design.
Throughout the project, I maintained close alignment with the Front-End Developer, discussing implementation constraints and opportunities upfront to ensure feasibility. We also held regular cross-functional touchpoints with the Back-End Developer and PM, enabling the whole team to move forward together, anticipating edge cases, aligning on expectations, and iterating as needed.

Impact

Together, we designed and delivered the MVP of a B2B platform for wealth management advisors, enabling the Sowefund sales team to demo a fully functional product at Patrimonia, a major industry conference.
