CLIENT
About the client

One of the country's foremost 'Co-Creation Partners Inc.', driving open innovation.

Co-Creation Partners Inc. is a firm that brokers and supports 'co-creation' between the new-business and open-innovation divisions of large enterprises and startups. Each company runs its own open-call programs (acceleration, PoC, collaboration proposals), and we accompany them from meeting promising startups through meetings and collaboration.

The business model is multi-tenant SaaS. While each host company has its own isolated tenant, they share a common application, selection, and matching foundation, so a small operations team can run many programs simultaneously.

CHALLENGE
Design challenges to solve

The four structural requirements demanded of the platform.

None of these were technology-selection problems; they were business requirements tied directly to operational efficiency, application experience, selection quality, and co-creation outcomes. A greenfield build required a design that satisfied them all at once.

Without centralized application data, selection becomes person-dependent

If applications are received by email or spreadsheet per call, reconciliationMassive manual workarises, and operations don't scale.

If publishing needs development, every call stalls

Program requirements differ every time. If each call required custom development,Weeks until publishingtakes time and opportunities are missed.

If search is slow, promising partners can't be found

Without narrowing thousands of startups by criteria,Reliant on staff memoryand the quality of encounters becomes unstable.

A wrong selection flow stalls everything from application to meeting

If approvals and handoffs rely on manual work,Stalls midwayand makes startups wait, causing drop-off.

ARCHITECTURE
The architecture we built together

Co-creation matching, turned into a 'never-stalling platform' across four areas.

Centralized call management, no-code publishing, high-speed matching, and never-stalling selection — we built these four areas from scratch, in-house, together with Co-Creation Partners Inc. Multi-tenant authentication and an automated deployment foundation were built in from the start, so operations don't break down as tenants grow.
