Timeline: October 2025 - December 2025
for one of my in-class assignments, nasdaq approached stanford design students to help them find a solution in making their space more approachable and helpful for first-time underserved founders. in a group project effort, me and my classmates utilized in-person interviews, user-specific research, empathy maps, journey maps, rapid prototypes, and user feedback to find a solution to their issue. Focusing our user group to be anxious founders who have recently experienced “heartbreak” with their cofounders, we created a platform called “cofounder” in order to address this issue. Following this solution, the team presented our ideas to nasdaq leaders for implementation.
