Investor Marketplace
A full-stack investor marketplace built with ASP.NET MVC, C# and SQL Server — RESTful APIs for investor profiles, deal flow and startup onboarding, with role-based access control over a responsive UI. Built during my Web Development internship at Appuno IT Solutions.

The problem
Early-stage fundraising runs on introductions and asymmetry. Founders cannot see which investors are actually active in their space; investors cannot see deal flow outside their own network. Both sides are making decisions on partial information, and the matching that results has more to do with who you already know than with fit.
The approach
Put both sides in one structured system with role-based views. Startups list opportunities against a consistent schema; investors discover, filter and track deals through the same data rather than through inbox forwarding. The structure is the product — a shared schema is what makes two sides comparable.
Early-stage fundraising is unnecessarily opaque. I wanted to build a clean, structured platform where the information asymmetry between founders and angels is reduced, making the matching process feel less like luck and more like informed decision-making.

Outcome
A working two-sided platform where startups list and investors discover, filter and track — the matching process grounded in a shared schema rather than in whose inbox a deck happened to reach. My first production-grade engineering work.
