Overview

With a mission to help early-stage startups scale responsibly, Puzzle created a multi-user accounting system that manages financial metrics, provides insights and creates meaningful reports for investors. We provided Puzzle with product and engineering teams, rapidly building first a demo and then a fully-functioning MVP that was ready to take to market.

The ask

Puzzle was founded by experienced Silicon Valley entrepreneur Sasha Orleff, previously Founder and CEO of Lendup. In the highly-competitive fintech space, where quick go-to-market is essential, the company had to move rapidly. To validate the market and get user feedback, Puzzle needed a proof of concept and MVP, meaning they also needed product and engineering teams from day 0.

The solution

Within a week of appointing Fluxon, Puzzle had a core engineering team, ready to build a live version of their application. In under a month, they had a meaningful demo to show potential customers. And in less than a quarter, we built them a fully functioning MVP that was ready to on-board a large set of trusted testers and company owners. The product’s responsive layout fitted multiple screen sizes and was built on a scalable infrastructure, ensuring it was ready to launch to millions of businesses and achieve rapid growth.

The impact

Starting with their grand vision for the future of accounting technology, our rapid development of an MVP allowed Puzzle to achieve a highly successful launch, as well as to raise an impressive $45m in funding. Based on their feedback, we continue to iterate on the product features, consistently adding value as the company grows.

“Fluxon was pivotal in helping us accelerate both our Tables and Interfaces initiatives. We had tight deadlines to meet, with ever rising technical complexity. They were able to seamlessly embed themselves with our product teams, and shipped code within the first week. We view them as a valuable member of our teams and look forward to partnering with them on future projects.”
