Context about

Done Deal

Done Deal is an acquisitions platform connecting verified startups with strategic investors through data-backed matchmaking. It accelerates the acquisition process by automating discovery, due diligence, and negotiations ensuring both efficiency and transparency.

With built-in anonymity controls, expert support, and investor verification, the platform enables meaningful engagements that help startups and buyers close deals confidently.

Problem Statement

The biggest challenge in M&A isn’t closing the deal, it’s everything before it. From meeting the right partner to valuing fit and building trust, the process is fragmented, opaque, and riddled with guesswork.

Scaling Deal-Making Through Digital Automation

After validating its model offline, Done Deal needed a digital-first platform to scale, eliminate manual inefficiencies, and automate deal-making—delivering a seamless, trustworthy experience for startups and investors.

Brand Identity

We built a brand identity that gave Done Deal the authority and clarity of an institutional player, while staying approachable for first-time founders.

This came to life through a website that told their story with confidence and transparency, and an MVP web app that offered an instant valuation tool giving founders a clear, trustworthy starting point in navigating acquisitions.

Web App - MVP

We built the MVP that tested the idea for Done Deal’s platform. Starting with a set of smart, research-backed questions to help founders instantly estimate their startup’s value, we uncovered the nuances needed for a trustworthy marketplace from anonymity and due diligence to expert intervention and investor verification. This foundation set the stage for future product.
