Finance Lobby
Revolutionizing the real estate marketplace
Finance Lobby is a visionary financial technology startup, revolutionizing the way real estate brokers and lenders do business together. Traditionally, brokers have the arduous task of reaching out to numerous lenders in the hope that one would accept their deal and offer satisfying loan terms for their clients.
From personal experience, the team at Finance Lobby realized the inefficiencies of the system and was determined to change the rules of the real estate game. They wanted to create an efficient meeting place for brokers and lenders to effortlessly pick and choose the best-suited terms and deals for their clients.
Finance Lobby needed a team that would share a passion for their vision, that would sweat whatever it took, and leave no stone unturned until a perfect solution emerged.
Naturally, they turned to Forwardslash.

The Finance Lobby Challenge
Step 1: Strategy and testing
The Forwardslash team began with visual design, a crucial factor to communicate Finance Lobby’s brand to its audience. Merging corporate, professional aesthetics with crystal clear UI, the design team crafted a visual interface that emphasized Finance Lobby’s innovative financial technology while ensuring the flow and ease of the user's journey throughout the site, ultimately enabling them to get the desired results.
Through user testing, the brokers experienced the conditional logic and functionality of the app and could highlight missing or incomplete information, which Forwardslash then fine-tuned and updated.
Step 2: Pre-MVP Website Launch
Next, the Forwardslash team constructed a minimum viable product to ascertain whether the concept would get the expected results.
First, they analyzed the two platform users - brokers and lenders. They determined the lenders as their preliminary target audience and strategically launched a pre-MPV, resulting in thousands of committed lenders adding their specifications to the application.

Step 3: Development

They strategized their next moves in 2-week sprints and vigilantly kept a record of the micro maze the app's interface contained.
