AI Insurance Platform Launch Backed by $3.5M Seed Round
Case Study: PathWork Longevity Inc.
PathWork, a tech-forward AI platform transforming insurance distribution, partnered with Melt Studio to build and launch a high-conversion marketing site and internal tools. With a $3.5M seed round on the horizon, they needed to move fast—crafting a digital presence that impressed investors, attracted leads, and laid the foundation for future product growth.

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.

OUR SOLUTION
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.

From Site to Seed: A Platform That Delivers Confidence
PathWork successfully closed their $3.5M seed round with backing from top investors. Melt’s work gave them the digital presence, platform confidence, and backend flexibility to grow. The next phase builds on this with smarter distribution, powered by their now investor-backed vision.

Hi Team - After weeks of effort, we have officially launched the www.brandtuit.com website! I want to give a special shout-out to Paola Lozano Vanegas for her tireless efforts in building a beautiful website that conveys our values so well. Thanks also to Sebastian Ocampo for helping navigate the plumbing and getting the site posted tonight. I have also posted to LinkedIn with an official "We are open for business" message, so let's go fishing!
We have a great concept, a real market need, and an evolving tool in Zena that can deliver value. Thanks to everyone on the team for getting us to this point. I'm very excited, very grateful, and looking forward to building from here.

Thank you for the note. I will think on this and let you know. So far, I feel like the team has onboarded well. I expected some time to be taken with onboarding, but was happy with how fast we have been able to get to development.
