From market research to launch and beyond
Pre-Development Phase: Market & User Research
Firstly, Capacitor Partners conducted thorough market research on existing platforms such as VouliWatch.gr.
The second stage of market research was heavily focused on the user. Always aiming to achieve a Product-Market fit, we connected to potential stakeholders who provided their opinion on what they would be looking for, in such a policy watchdog platform.
Following extensive interviews with citizens, academics, policymakers, lawyers, corporate executives, and founders, Capacitor Partners was able to: 1) Accurately record the users’ needs, 2) Create and map out the key features of the platform, 3) Rank all features according to their priority level, and 4) Build a product launch roadmap.
Development Phase: The Creation of the Product
As the planning stage came to completion, Capacitor Partners set out to find the right partners for building the platform. Through expansive research and negotiations, Capacitor Partners was able to secure cost-effective contracts, yet did not sacrifice the quality of the end product.
Accordingly, Capacitor Partners acted as the Product Manager on behalf of the client. We were in charge of coordinating all the involved parties in the development of the platform using the agile methodology, overseeing all testing and quality assurance phases, planning the launch stage in collaboration with the client’s marketing team, and continuously communicating with potential users to receive feedback as we rolled out different features of the platform.
Post-Launch Phase: Scaling and Pivoting
Once the product became available to the public, Capacitor Partners ought to ensure that Nomoplatform was successfully operating in the market. We consistently gathered and analyzed data from analytics and user interviews, regarding the existing and future functionality of the product.
The data was later used to implement Nomoplatform's strategy and pivot the product to ensure it remains relevant throughout possible market changes.
As part of the agreed post-launch strategy, Capacitor Partners also assisted Nomoplatform in hiring its first team members and securing the platform’s first corporate clients.
