# Case Option 2: Capitalist – Connect Founders & Investors

## Background

Capitalist is a platform that helps startup founders meet investors. In this hackathon, you’ll build a simple first version (MVP). It doesn’t need to be big — just modern, fast, and easy.

## Your Challenge

Build a small prototype with:

1. Landing + Waitlist – users sign up and see their place.

2. Onboarding – choose Founder or Investor.

3. Dealfeed – list of demo startups/profiles.

4. Request Intro Button – a way to connect.

5. Referral Bonus – invite friends to move up in the waitlist.

## Tips for Success

* Keep the design clean and simple (dark mode = bonus).

* Make flows short and obvious.

* Extras (like saving favorites) are optional.

👉 Focus on this flow: Landing → Waitlist → Onboarding → Dealfeed → Referral.
