Overview
Sphinx Solutions partnered with PrimeShark, an international networking platform built to close the distance between founders, investors and businesses. The brief was a mobile app for Android and iOS that simplifies professional networking and lets a company put its idea in front of a global audience.
Our team built an app where users create verified profiles, connect with investors, find funding opportunities and form partnerships. Matchmaking, messaging, profile management and opportunity listings all went in to make that journey work.
The app runs on a scalable backend with security protocols suited to sensitive business information. The result is a networking platform that helps founders reach suitable investors, helps investors find promising ventures, and lets professionals widen their network.
PrimeShark is live on both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
Client Requirement

A mobile app that acts as a reliable hub where founders, startups and investors can connect, collaborate and find new opportunities, at international scale.

A system that intelligently matches investors with suitable businesses, so both sides save time and find the right opportunity accurately.
03
In-app messaging with end-to-end security, so users can discuss ideas, negotiate and exchange details without leaving the platform.
04

06
A consistent experience on Android and iOS, on infrastructure that can take a growing global user base.
Founders struggle to get an idea in front of the right investor, and investors face the mirror image of that problem: finding credible ventures actually worth funding.
Traditional routes, events and scattered online platforms, take time and rarely produce a meaningful introduction.
PrimeShark’s founders saw the need for a platform that brought the two groups together in a way that was steady, reliable and efficient. Founders wanted a place to show a venture and reach potential partners; investors wanted a way to find opportunities quickly that matched their interests and their credibility requirements.
The app was designed to fill that gap: build a verified profile, explore relevant opportunities, and talk without leaving the platform.
We built a cross-platform app for Android and iOS on a scalable architecture, designed so that networking between founders and investors is simple, reliable and secure.
The result is a networking app that makes an introduction between a founder and an investor faster to find and safer to have.
Sphinx Solutions delivered a cross-platform business networking app: verified profiles, intelligent investor matchmaking, encrypted in-app messaging, opportunity listings and analytics, on a backend built to scale internationally.
“Working with Sphinx Solutions has been a seamless and highly productive experience. Their team understood the specific challenges of connecting entrepreneurs and investors and translated our vision into a reliable, feature-rich mobile platform. PrimeShark now lets startups showcase their ventures while investors find credible opportunities efficiently, and the in-app messaging, real-time notifications and verified profiles have improved confidence and engagement considerably.”

Impact
PrimeShark opened doors for startups to reach investors worldwide, creating cross-industry and cross-border opportunities that were not easily available before.
Matchmaking cut the time it took investors to find relevant ventures and startups to attract investment, shortening the growth cycle.
Because every profile is verified, PrimeShark reduced the risk of fraud and raised confidence in the conversations that follow.
With data and analytics in the platform, users can make better decisions about who to approach and which conversations to prioritise.
