Client Overview

Horizon Insights is a data analytics startup founded by Jennifer Walsh with a vision to democratize business intelligence for small and medium enterprises. With a brilliant concept but limited runway, they needed a development partner who could build fast without sacrificing quality.

The team had validated their idea with potential customers but needed a working product to demonstrate to investors for their upcoming Series A pitch.

The Challenge

  • 8-Week Investor Deadline

    Limited time to build a fully functional demonstration product

  • Bootstrap Budget

    Pre-seed funding required maximum value from every dollar

  • Complex Data Visualization

    Product required sophisticated charts and real-time dashboards

  • Scalability Requirements

    Architecture needed to support future growth post-funding

Our Solution

1
Strategic MVP Scoping

Worked closely with the founder to identify the core features that would demonstrate value to investors while keeping scope manageable. Created a detailed roadmap prioritizing must-have vs. nice-to-have features.

2
Agile Development Sprints

Implemented 1-week sprints with daily standups and constant communication. This allowed for rapid iteration and ensured the founder was involved at every step of the development process.

3
Scalable Architecture

Built on modern cloud infrastructure designed to scale from hundreds to millions of users. Used microservices architecture to enable future team expansion and feature development.

4
Investor-Ready Polish

Added professional animations, loading states, and error handling to create a polished product that impressed investors and early users alike.

The Results

  • $2.5M Series A Secured

    Investors were impressed by the working product and user traction

  • MVP Delivered in 6 Weeks

    2 weeks ahead of the investor presentation deadline

  • 1,200+ Beta Users Onboarded

    Strong user traction demonstrated market demand

  • Continued Partnership

    NetCode retained as technical partner for ongoing development

"As a startup, we needed a partner who understood our constraints. NetCode delivered an MVP in just 6 weeks that helped us secure our Series A funding. Their strategic approach and technical expertise exceeded all expectations."
