A University of Texas alumnus set out to build a platform connecting early-stage founders with local angel investors in Austin’s growing tech ecosystem. The concept was strong, but the business needed a structured MVP to validate traction, prove engagement, and build credibility before raising funds.
Speed to market was the top priority — without sacrificing security or scalability.
The goal was to design and develop a SaaS MVP that:
App Vertices built CapitalLaunch as a streamlined, traction-focused MVP designed to validate the business model quickly. We developed a clean onboarding flow for founders and investors, implemented profile-based matching, and added secure messaging to drive real introductions.
To support monetization testing and platform governance, we added subscription access tiers and an admin dashboard for moderation. The system was deployed on scalable cloud infrastructure to ensure it could evolve beyond MVP into a full product ecosystem.
CapitalLaunch successfully launched a credible MVP that quickly validated market demand within Austin’s startup ecosystem. The platform gained rapid user adoption, facilitated meaningful investor introductions, and helped the founder secure pre-seed funding shortly after launch.
