Project Goals

The Pre-IPO Marketplace Development for Alliance Deals aimed to create an online platform that facilitates joint stock purchases before Initial Public Offerings (IPOs). The platform was designed to bring together small investors who may lack the necessary funds to make significant investments individually, enabling them to pool their resources and collectively participate in pre-IPO deals. The primary goal was to make pre-IPO investments accessible to a broader audience, particularly small investors, while providing transparency and streamlined processes for collaboration.

Functional Capabilities

  • Deal Publishing and Aggregation: The platform provided functionality for publishing available pre-IPO deals, allowing investors to view the details of each opportunity. The deal aggregation feature enabled users to see a list of available deals, making it easier for investors to find suitable investment opportunities.
  • Investor Profiles and Aggregation: Each investor had a profile where they could provide details about their interests, investment preferences, and previous deals. These profiles were aggregated on the platform, allowing other users to see potential collaborators and evaluate opportunities for joint investment.
  • Joint Investment Collaboration: Investors could collaborate on deals by pooling their resources, thus enabling them to participate in significant pre-IPO investments that they might not have been able to afford individually.
  • Personal Messaging: The platform included personal messaging features, allowing investors to communicate with each other directly. This feature facilitated collaboration, allowing users to discuss investment opportunities and coordinate joint stock purchases effectively.
  • Transparency and Accessibility: The platform ensured transparency in deal publication and investor profiles, providing users with detailed information on available deals and potential collaborators. This enhanced trust and made the process more accessible for small investors.

Solution Concept

The Alliance Deals platform was developed to address the growing demand for access to pre-IPO investment opportunities, particularly for small investors who often struggle to secure shares due to limited capital. The platform allowed users to participate in pre-IPO deals by pooling their resources, thereby providing them with the same opportunities as larger investors.

The backend of the platform was built using Python and Django, providing a reliable and scalable solution for managing user data, deals, and transactions. PostgreSQL was used as the database, offering a robust solution for managing deal information, user profiles, and investment data.

The frontend was developed using Vue.js and Quasar (a framework based on Vue.js), which enabled the creation of a responsive and user-friendly interface. The use of Quasar allowed for a consistent experience across different devices, including desktops and mobile devices.

The platform's key functionalities included deal publication, investor profiles, joint investment collaboration, and messaging. These features were designed to facilitate a seamless and transparent investment process, allowing small investors to easily discover, evaluate, and participate in pre-IPO deals.
