Project Duration

11 Months


Services Provided

During my time at Mesh.Trade, I was involved in the product design process for both their mobile application and website. Collaboration was key, involving close work with stakeholders to understand their needs and expectations. The design process was iterative, involving regular feedback sessions, sprints and usability testing to ensure the final product met high standards of quality and user satisfaction.


Background

Mesh.Trade is an open capital markets ecosystem that enables private companies to access capital without relying on institutional investors. It offers investors direct access to a range of alternative and private capital investment opportunities through a secure, simple, and flexible ecosystem. By utilising leading-edge blockchain technology, Mesh.Trade removes the need for many market intermediaries, breaks down traditional barriers to entry, reduces excessive participation costs, and makes capital raising and investing more efficient for all market participants.

Business Insights

The platform addresses the inefficiencies and high costs associated with traditional capital markets by providing standardised tools and simplified workflows. Mesh.Trade leverages blockchain technology to streamline complex market mechanisms and ensure compliance with multi-geography regulatory requirements, thus appealing to a global audience.

Challenges with the Existing Journey

  • Complex Onboarding Processes: Traditional KYC and compliance processes were often cumbersome and time-consuming.

  • High Participation Costs: Existing market intermediaries and barriers to entry made capital raising and investing expensive.

  • Lack of User Engagement: Complex market mechanisms and regulatory requirements often deterred users from engaging fully with the platform.
