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.

Most of my favorite service experiences occur when the company foresees my needs and questions before I ask. For example, digital trackers that inform me on the progress of my service (eg Dominos, Amazon, etc). Other service experiences I especially enjoy occur when a company integrates its solution with another solution I already use to create synergies or efficiencies (eg Uber + Expensify), and when a company provides painless returns/discounts when I'm not satisfied with the product's qualities (eg REI).
