Designing an MVP that incorporates learning experience design, tokenomics, and gameful design
CrowdSolve is an online learning, networking, and fundraising platform for early stage climate tech startups. Their goal is to create a learning and networking experience that would engage entrepreneurs from ideation to team formation to launching and scaling their products. To help them achieve this, I conducted usability research on their initial proof of concept, and I designed their first MVP based on my findings. The experience I designed included onboarding, adding an innovation, and completing course modules to earn cryptocurrency tokens that were redeemable for workshops.
