From an investor pitch to a scalable live product

Project
Overview

How we helped Perpethua transform from a founder's vision with investor interest into a fully realized M&A platform. From brand identity to product design, we built the UX/UI foundation and created a design infrastructure that lets their engineering team ship fast.
The problem we solved:
Perpethua had the idea, the investors, and potential clients but no product experience to show them.
How we solved it:
We designed everything from scratch: brand, UX, UI, then built a system that lets engineering move independently.

The Challenge

Perpethua came to us at the earliest stage: a compelling idea for democratizing M&A advisory for Italian SMEs, some investor backing, and interested clients, but no designed product.

The founders knew what they wanted to build: a platform connecting entrepreneurs facing succession challenges with qualified investors and industrial partners. But translating that vision into intuitive flows and professional interfaces that could compete with traditional advisory firms required building everything from zero.

Our Approach

We started with the brand creating a visual identity that communicates trust and professionalism to entrepreneurs making the biggest decisions of their careers.

Then we moved into deep UX work, mapping the complex flows of M&A processes into something users could actually navigate. But design alone wasn't enough. We embedded ourselves with Perpethua's engineering team, building a design system and infrastructure specifically architected for developer handoff. Every component, every flow was designed to be replicated without ambiguity. As the platform evolved, we continued iterating new features, refined flows, always maintaining the bridge between design vision and technical execution.

The Outcome

Perpethua launched with a platform that matched their ambition. The design system we built became the foundation for rapid iteration, letting their team ship new features without design bottlenecks. Today, the platform serves 300+ active investors, has facilitated over €50M in deals, and maintains a >95% client satisfaction rate. What started as an idea is now a funded fintech making news in Italian financial press.
