THE CHALLENGE

Build Trust and Traction Before Product-Market Fit

Before PathWork could scale, they needed to validate their product story and attract investor interest. That meant creating a powerful website and internal tools that communicated legitimacy, enabled demos, and signaled a strong technical foundation for what’s next.

A Strategic Site and Backend Foundation That Raised Millions

Requirements

Simplification

We focused first on defining a clean, bold narrative for PathWork’s landing page—positioning it as an AI-powered platform for insurance distribution. Visual clarity and speed were essential to make investor exploration frictionless.

Application

Building

Using a modern tech stack (NextJS, TypeScript), Melt built the public marketing site and internal dashboard modules. We also connected backend endpoints for inbox management, prequal envelope assignment, and carrier flow testing.

Prototype

Release

The marketing platform launched in time to support fundraising, showcasing PathWork’s vision and capabilities. The internal prototype system enabled prequal logic, real-time inbox updates, and end-to-end carrier workflows.

Rally Chat

Melt provided exceptional services for us at RallyChat. I truly appreciated how quickly you ramped up on the project—sorting out access, setting up the tech, and adopting my kanban board seamlessly. Regular stand-ups kept communication flowing, and your use of Slack was professional and concise. The quality of work was outstanding, with excellent judgment, independent thinking, and clear communication on design decisions. Overall, an extremely professional experience—significantly better than the Globant contractors I worked with this year.
