In the high-stakes world of business acquisitions, deals have traditionally hinged on personal connections, manual processes, and endless back-and-forth communications. This case study reveals how strategic design transformed Done Deal from an offline, relationship-dependent operation into a streamlined digital marketplace that secured $1M in funding.
When Done Deal approached us, they had already validated their concept through manual deal facilitation but faced a critical inflection point: how to scale beyond the constraints of human bandwidth while maintaining the trust and verification essential to high-value transactions. Through a design-centered approach that balanced automation with trust-building, we helped create a platform where technology amplifies rather than replaces the human elements that make deals successful.
What follows is the story of how thoughtful product design, bold branding, and cohesive digital touchpoints transformed a proven business model into a scalable tech platform—demonstrating that in the complex world of acquisitions, well-executed design isn't just about aesthetics, but about creating the confidence and clarity necessary to close multimillion-dollar deals.
We helped Done Deal evolve from a high-touch offline model to a fully scalable digital platform. Our strategic design execution not only positioned Done Deal as a category-defining player in the acquisitions space but also played a pivotal role in securing $1M in funding.
Done Deal is a tech-driven acquisitions platform that connects verified companies with strategic investors, streamlining business deals through data-backed matchmaking. Traditional acquisitions are slow, manual, and inefficient—Done Deal redefines the process by automating discovery, due diligence, and negotiations. With built-in anonymity controls, expert diligence support, and investor verification, startups and buyers can engage meaningfully and close deals with confidence.

Done Deal had developed a proof of concept and successfully prototyped its model offline but needed a robust platform to scale. The challenge was to automate the deal-making process, reduce reliance on manual interactions, and create an intuitive experience for both startups and investors.
We designed an MVP that replaced the manual back-and-forth with an automated deal-matching system, integrating:
We built a high-trust identity system with 3D assets, positioning Done Deal as a modern acquisitions player. The visual language emphasized:
We designed the website, marketing collaterals, and brand materials to align with Done Deal’s high-value positioning. Every touchpoint—from the platform UI to marketing assets—was crafted to communicate credibility, efficiency, and trust.
Done Deal needed more than just a platform—it needed a brand and product that could stand out, build trust, and drive high-value transactions. We helped bring that vision to life.
