Many entrepreneurs start companies but lack funding to hire full teams. We want to create a LinkedIn-type website that connects entrepreneurs with people willing to work for start-ups in exchange for stock and also with potential investors and mentors. Users can post profiles of themselves and/or their start-ups and match with potential partners/collaborators.

• Competitive research - analysis of direct or indirect competitors' design strengths and weaknesses, with actionable recommendations
• User research- research plans, screener surveys, user interviews, and/or persona development to better understand users
• Usability testing- summary of key findings and recommendations, or documentation of testing sessions to understand users’ experience of and interaction with your product
• Redesign and/or redesign recommendations- design improved flows for the distinct user types. Workshop ideas and turn those into wireframes or mockups that show exactly how the solution could work
• Prototype- once high fidelity mockups are complete, create a prototype in Figma that can be used to test and validate the designs
