After meeting with the company and hearing who they are and what they are about, I got really excited about this project. I had many ideas coming out of the meeting with them. That team is great!
Basically what they are doing is a business/investor relations social networking site. Small businesses can’t get money from banks easily – they need an investor. This website will connect investors with entrepreneurs.
The main concept that came out of the research phase was a Rolodex (if you don’t know what a rolodex is, google or wikipedia it). I sketched out a few pages of ideas, and tried to keep it really simple and clean. Their competitors basically had garbage for their identities.
Overall this was a really fun project. Be sure to check them out once their website is up and running!
