Introduction

‍Data is everywhere, but insight requires clarity.

In the fast-moving fintech ecosystem, new players appear daily, deals happen at pace, and opportunities shift constantly. A leading global consultancy wanted to cut through the noise by building a proprietary platform — a curated database of 25,000 fintechs with the power to visualise trends, track investments, and surface opportunities in real time.

‍The challenge

‍Losing its own tech team, the platform risked stalling just as momentum was building.

The consultancy’s in-house engineers were rolling off, leaving the initiative without technical support. At the same time, the team wanted to reimagine the customer portal, improving user experience and showcasing its proprietary taxonomy. To secure internal buy in, they needed a working prototype quickly. They also needed a partner who could provide continuity while preparing the product for scale.

‍The solution

From prototype to platform, delivered with speed and structure.

MISSION+ assembled a front-end developer and UI/UX designer in just two days, enabling the first prototype — built with dynamic D3.js visualisations — to be delivered in under a month. Alongside, we built a roadmap for the platform’s evolution, gathered a 14-person team spanning front- and back-end, and established a strong data management system so analysts could update the database in real time. A technical lead and advisor ensured daily standups, sprint planning, and seamless collaboration with the consultancy’s own product team.

‍Impact

‍A live platform, a trusted partnership, and technical continuity at scale.

The prototype gave the consultancy’s team what they needed: real-time customer feedback before committing to a full build. From there, MISSION+ supported the product through beta and into launch, scaling the team elastically between four and sixteen developers, designers, and QA depending on the roadmap. Turnover stayed well below the industry average at just six percent per year, saving time and ensuring stability. The result: a platform that makes fintech opportunity instantly visible, anchored by a partnership that delivers speed, reliability, and continuity./
