The Challenge

Finding love and friendship can be time consuming, awkward, and unsuccessful. People want to feel an immediate connection. In founder Lila Becker’s research and personal experiences, she discovered that a shared sense of humor is one of the most best predictors for a successful long term relationship. Lila wanted to create a platform to connect people that laugh at the same thing.

Discovery

At Big Nerd Ranch, our Design team kicks off our process with the Discovery phase, and this project was no different. The goals for our initial Discovery session were three-fold:

  • Understand the client’s business goals and peer-to-peer delivery concept
  • Define and streamline the core functionality of the app
  • Map and detail the user’s experience
These were all accomplished through close collaboration with the Roadie team over a series of iterations. Deliverables during this phase included user flows, wireframes and various interactive prototypes.

Working with Foundersbuddy was a great experience. They made me feel a part of their team, and the end result was more than I hoped for. Plus they were on time and on budget!

Development

Our Development Teams were met with a multitude of challenges, most notably:

  • Serving users nearby gigs without overburdening the server
  • Implementing geolocation
  • Verifying drivers’ licenses
  • Adding payment gateways
These were all accomplished through close collaboration with the Roadie team over a series of iterations. Deliverables during this phase included user flows, wireframes and various interactive prototypes.

Their advice, problem solving and suggestions were spot-on
