Based on its commitment to bridging the gap between startups and investors, Hub71 was dedicated to building a web portal that could be used by startups, investors, and its own team members. However, they faced a significant challenge in building a portal that could effectively serve the diverse needs of these three groups.

Startups needed a platform that would allow them to connect with investors and showcase their ideas, while investors needed a tool to efficiently screen potential investment opportunities. At the same time, Hub71's team members required a platform that could manage and track the various activities of startups and investors in the ecosystem. The team needed to streamline the process for service providers accepting the requests of startups too.

The challenge for Hub71 was to design and develop a web portal that could effectively cater to the needs of all these groups while maintaining a seamless user experience. The portal had to be intuitive, secure, and easily accessible by all stakeholders, with features such as a dashboard for startups to track their progress, a messaging system for investors and service providers to communicate with startups, and a central repository of resources for all users.

Moreover, the portal needed to be scalable to accommodate the growing number of startups and investors in the ecosystem. This was crucial to ensure that the platform could continue to support the community's growth while maintaining its high standards of quality and performance.

Overall, the challenge was to build a comprehensive, user-friendly platform that could serve as a one-stop shop for startups, service providers, partners (investors), and Hub71's team members to collaborate and drive innovation in the technology sector.
