The Fanbase Design We wanted to create an app design for our new project, . To rapidly produce a design in one week, so we decided to try out the . This is how we went… Fanbase GV Design Sprint Fanbase is an application for bringing content control to musicians and rewarding their fans. It is a Decentralized App (dApp) developed to run on the blockchain. Lightstreams The Design Sprint is described as a shortcut to learning, the idea is that a team does not have to launch their product in order to test out their ideas. By using a Design Sprint to validate , we asked ourselves important questions, worked across teams to make sure we weren’t building biases into our product, and eventually tested the final design outcome. Fanbase The Design Sprint is a 5-day process. Monday We defined the goals of our 5-day process. We mapped a successful customer journey. We engaged experts and built our collective knowledge, redefining our map as we went. After all, without input from the industry on needs they see, and fan frustrations they know intimately, we cannot build the best experience for artists and fans. We also decided on a customer target and focused on that customer the rest of the week. The long-term goal of is to be a scalable, consumer-facing dApp that can spread virally — so it needs to be easy to use and attractive to fans, offering them a superior experience to the current centralized sites. It must also help artists reach out directly to fans. Fanbase Core Reasons for Building Fanbase When we began the sprint, we recognized that’s the core reason we’re building : we want to bring artists and fans closer together. There shouldn’t be the a-typical social media site in between them. Artists should be able to share content with fans directly and fans should be able to share their content, communicate with fellow fans, and be rewarded for their loyalty directly by artists. When launches, it will be an artist-based community, run like Reddit, where trolls are managed and users can interact based on tiers. They can also be rewarded for popular content they submit. Fanbase Fanbase Tuesday All our team members sketched out their solutions in four stages, from research to doodling, brainstorming rapid variations, and finally working out the details. Three teams put their heads together to devise creative solutions for their target users. Wednesday The entire team chose a winning design and everyone developed a storyboard showing the structure of the app journey and landing pages within . Fanbase Thursday We got to work! Our fourth day was dedicated to building a realistic prototype that could be used and tested by users. Friday We took our prototype to fans and interviewed them one-on-one for their reactions. This helped us capture ideas and move forward building the best user experience for fans and artists. We’re excited that our MVP will incorporate all of the learning from our successful Design Sprint! Conclusion We found undertaking the Design Sprint has helped us focus on a user experience that quickly satisfies the goals of the project and helps avoid wasting a whole lot of time building features that may be of no use. It also helped our team better collaborate, allowing all members input and quickly forming a design consensus.

At a time when the Global Tech sector is facing stagnant growth and employees are facing job losses, the Indian tech industries are booming. Recently, a Mumbai-based Identification verification startup, IDfy, raised 27 million dollars in total primary and secondary funding from top firms like Elev8 Venture Partners, KB Investment, and Tenacity Ventures. On its LinkedIn page, IDfy claims to "help enterprises eliminate fraud and establish trust using tech-powered products and solutions for KYC, KYB, Background Verification, Risk Mitigation, Digital Onboarding and Digital Privacy." IDfy is a top Indian identity verification company that provides services to help other organizations like banks and e-commerce sites verify a person's identity. They are crucial for preventing fraud and theft. While applying for EMIs through certain services, we are often asked to take a picture of ourselves after entering details like Aadhar's card number and account number. The picture that is taken is then compared to the picture on the Aadhar card servers to make sure the person applying is genuine and not a fraud. This complex process is carried out by services like IDfy. The funds raised by the company will be used in its expansion programs and product development to provide a better experience for the users, the company said in a statement on Wednesday, 6th March 2024. "Investment from Elev8 and Tenacity is a strong validation of our vision and capabilities. IDfy’s mission is to eliminate fraud and establish trust," said Ashok Hariharan, co-founder and chief executive of IDfy. IDfy was founded in 2011 by Vineet Jawa and Ashok Hariharan. Since then, it has grown to become one of the major players in the field of risk management both nationally and internationally. IDfy provides crucial services to India's top companies, including but not limited to KYC, KYB, background checks, risk mitigation, digital onboarding, and privacy solutions. The company has a big list of clients that includes HDFC Bank, AxisBank, Zomato, PhonePe, Paytm, Hindustan Unilever Ltd, and American Express, managing over 60 million verifications monthly. It also provides its services to millions of users in the international markets. In a statement, Elev8 said it was drawn to IDfy's strong leadership team, its product-centric approach, and its alignment with India's digitization story. “The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of cloud-based services, driving a surge in digitization and a shift in consumer behavior. This, coupled with the supportive regulatory environment fostered by the India Digital Stack initiative, creates a fertile ground for IDfy's continued growth." “We have known Ashok and IDfy for several years and are impressed with how they have built great products and a great brand. We believe that trust platforms from India will scale internationally, and IDfy can compound meaningfully with these global tailwinds. We look forward to a fruitful partnership with the management team to build IDfy in its next phase of growth," added Rohit Razdan, managing Director of Tenacity Ventures. The company plays a major role in one of the most important sectors in India, making life easier for millions of Indian and international customers. As of 2021, the company is valued at 66.9 million dollars. It has brought significant investments to India and sets a major example of showing the unstoppable growth of India and the potential of talented Indians who are only limited by their creative minds.
