# Building an accounting system to help startups reach their potential.

## Overview

With a mission to help early-stage startups scale responsibly, Puzzle created a multi-user accounting system that manages financial metrics, provides insights and creates meaningful reports for investors. We provided Puzzle with product and engineering teams, rapidly building first a demo and then a fully-functioning MVP that was ready to take to market.

#### The ask

Puzzle was founded by experienced Silicon Valley entrepreneur Sasha Orleff, previously Founder and CEO of Lendup. In the highly-competitive fintech space, where quick go-to-market is essential, the company had to move rapidly. To validate the market and get user feedback, Puzzle needed a proof of concept and MVP, meaning they also needed product and engineering teams from day 0.

#### The solution

Within a week of appointing Fluxon, Puzzle had a core engineering team, ready to build a live version of their application. In under a month, they had a meaningful demo to show potential customers. And in less than a quarter, we built them a fully functioning MVP that was ready to on-board a large set of trusted testers and company owners. The product’s responsive layout fitted multiple screen sizes and was built on a scalable infrastructure, ensuring it was ready to launch to millions of businesses and achieve rapid growth.

#### The impact

Starting with their grand vision for the future of accounting technology, our rapid development of an MVP allowed Puzzle to achieve a highly successful launch, as well as to raise an impressive $45m in funding. Based on their feedback, we continue to iterate on the product features, consistently adding value as the company grows.
