Outcome

Won 1st place at investor competition (2024)

Before Itqan

We had no product, no brand, and no investor story. We needed it all — and we needed it before the competition.

No product. No brand. No deck. A competition deadline in 21 days. The founder needed to walk on stage with something investors could actually see, click, and believe.

The bridge

What we actually built.

01Week 1

IDENTITY

  • Brand strategy + naming validation
  • Positioning brief + investor narrative
  • Visual identity system (logo, type, color)
02Weeks 2-3

SYSTEM

  • UX research with recruiters + employers
  • User personas + journey mapping
  • Full product UI design (web + dashboard)
  • Usability-tested prototype ready for build

After

From invisible to inevitable.

Nexilink walked into the 2024 investor competition with a brand investors couldn't ignore and a product they could click through. They placed first. The full identity + UX system became the foundation for the next phase of growth.

We brought Itqan in to solve major challenges in our UI and UX, and the results exceeded expectations. They didn't just redesign the product. They rebuilt it into a clean, functional and user-focused experience that perfectly matched our direction. Their ability to listen, analyse and execute quickly made a huge difference for us. Itqan is a partner we trust for both speed and quality.
