OVERVIEW
The brief
Fundstack had a validated thesis — an embedded finance tool for SMBs — and a seed round closing in twelve weeks, but no product. The previous agency had burned three months producing a prototype that investors found unconvincing. They needed a real, demonstrable MVP fast enough to carry into due diligence.

OUR APPROACH
How we tackled it
We ran a compressed one-week scoping sprint to define the minimum fundable surface area, then built in two-week sprints with a live staging URL from week two. We made one hard call early: invest in clean, auditable transaction architecture rather than ship faster with technical debt — a decision that paid off directly during investor technical diligence.

CLIENT VOICE
“Galaxen didn't just build our product — they helped us think through the architecture that our Series A investors specifically called out as a strength during due diligence.”

Healthpath
Healthpath wanted to launch a patient-facing health companion app in a regulated market where trust and accessibility make or break adoption. They had clinical expertise but no engineering team, and a hard launch date tied to a partnership announcement.
Shiftly
Shiftly needed a shift-management SaaS for hospitality venues — a market with notoriously thin margins and zero tolerance for clunky software. They had a rescoped idea after a failed build with another agency and a small window before a competitor launched.
