Neepa Patel, a former Chief Compliance Officer at a renowned Fin-Tech firm in New York City, had extensive experience with compliance practices in both small and large organizations. She often found the process to be chaotic, relying heavily on disorganized spreadsheets that caused confusion and redundancy. This led her to think, "There must be a better way." Eager to address the issues she encountered, Neepa took the bold step of leaving her job to partner with Modus and pursue her vision. Recognizing the need for a technical collaborator to provide software consulting and help develop an initial prototype for investors, she embarked on this challenging journey. Creating a product that requires in-depth industry insight, like compliance software, is never straightforward. The first step involved a design sprint to explore various development pathways for the prototype efficiently. After determining that a web-based application would enable quicker launch and user feedback, the team got to work. In less than four weeks, they crafted a functional prototype showcasing all the key features. With the prototype ready, Neepa was set to travel to Silicon Valley to present her product to executives from major companies like Coinbase and other significant players in the crypto industry.
