We're incredibly proud of our client, Ansley Fender, who is bringing much-needed innovation to the world of grant management and government contracts
Her startup, Atlas Solutions, aims to create a product that will streamline and provide an end-to-end SaaS solution to the full grant management cycle, from searching for funding, budgeting, and conveniently generating reports that can be shared across an entire organization.
We're impressed with her vision and desire to disrupt this space that's cluttered with legacy products that for the most part haven't seen substantial innovation in decades; we're just as impressed to learn about her personal journey and the incredible resiliency she's carried over from her past experiences.
A local Bloomington software development consultancy, Future Wonder collaborated with Ansley to visualize and create iterative designs based on her initial product concept, using funding from the ISBDC INTAP 2020 program.
We worked in virtual and in-person sessions to identify the exact customer pain points Ansley wants to alleviate. We then designed a product around this together — always keeping the user front and center. We took Ansley's own domain expertise as well as findings from discovery that she had conducted prior to working with us, and combined all of this with our own expertise in the UI/UX realm.
Ansley has been pitching her designs to prospective investors and other interested parties. The designs are an actionable blueprint for early development, and we're so happy to have been able to help in this capacity. We look forward to working with her again in the future to build on the work we've done so far, and can only expect to hear more great things about her progress as she moves ahead with Atlas Solutions!
