The project
What
This is a full-stack web prototype built for a venture-backed startup preparing for its next funding round. It combines a React frontend with a Node.js and Express backend and a PostgreSQL database, exposing a REST API designed to support future mobile clients. Authentication supports email and social login, and role-based access controls gate views by user type. A central dashboard presents sample business data in a clean, glanceable layout, and core domain records are managed through standard CRUD flows. The codebase is structured for growth, with a clear folder layout, basic test coverage on key functions, and Docker configuration for consistent environments.
For
The prototype serves two distinct user roles with different levels of access, and it is owned by the startup's founding team. Its primary audiences are investors evaluating the concept and early users validating the product direction.
Problem
Early-stage startups need a working, presentable demo to secure funding and gather user feedback, but building one that is credible under scrutiny without overbuilding takes focused execution that most generalist approaches do not provide.
