Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

I’m Farhad Kousyaie, founder and CEO of Biyatto, a peer-to-peer social marketplace for exchanging competencies.
We joined FasterCapital’s LaunchUp program, and it’s honestly been one of the most valuable support programs we’ve experienced as an early-stage startup. The team provided us with in-depth reports — from SWOT to market studies to investor-readiness
The feedback we received from angel investors through FasterCapital helped us identify strategic blind spots and reshape our pitch deck. We’re now preparing to raise $800K, and we feel far more confident in doing so thanks to the clarity and support we gained through the program.
Special thanks to the whole team for their consistent guidance and transparency. I strongly recommend this program to any startup founder who’s serious about fundraising and growth.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Working with FasterCapital helped us move from a conceptual stage to a more investor-ready position. Through their structured feedback, market research reports, and detailed analysis (including SWOT, competitor studies, and pitch material reviews), we gained clarity on our positioning and funding strategy.

One key outcome was the refinement of our business model and financial projections, which gave us more confidence during investor discussions. Additionally, entering their LaunchUp program added credibility to our startup, and their outreach has already connected us to interested investors. It’s been a highly valuable step in our fundraising journey.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

FasterCapital’s project management has been smooth and responsive. From the beginning, they clearly outlined the steps of their LaunchUp program and delivered each item, like the pitch review, business viability analysis, SWOT, and market research reports, on time or earlier than expected.

Communication was consistent and professional. Whenever we had questions or needed clarification, their team responded promptly and thoroughly. They were also flexible in adapting to our specific needs as a startup, and we always felt that our progress was being taken seriously.

What was your primary form of communication with FasterCapital?

Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What impressed us most about FasterCapital was their hands-on and tailored approach. Unlike many accelerators that take a one-size-fits-all route, they took the time to deeply understand our startup’s model, stage, and vision before offering strategic support.

Their combination of in-depth investor readiness reports, direct outreach to potential investors, and fast communication makes them stand out. We also appreciated how transparent and consistent they were throughout the entire process. It felt like a true partnership, not just a service.

Are there any areas for improvement or something FasterCapital could have done differently?

Overall, our experience with FasterCapital has been very positive. If there’s one area for potential improvement, it would be to share more visibility into the investor outreach process, such as which investors have shown interest or are reviewing the materials. A bit more transparency there would help startups like ours better understand the pipeline and tailor our responses accordingly.

That said, their team has always been open to feedback and willing to adjust, which we truly appreciate.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Mazao Online is an innovative AgriTech mobile platform dedicated to supporting smallholder farmers in Tanzania by addressing key challenges along the agricultural value chain. The platform integrates digital solutions aimed at enhancing productivity, improving market access, promoting financial inclusion, and supporting climate-smart agriculture. Its ultimate objective is to increase food security and farmer incomes through the effective use of technology.

Mazao Online provides smart farming tools that deliver real-time weather updates, soil health insights, pest and disease alerts, and AI-driven crop management recommendations. Farmers also receive tailored agronomic advice specific to their crop type, location, and season, along with access to an extensive knowledge base of best practices and local extension services. To enhance financial inclusion, the platform enables farmer profiling and credit scoring, linking users to microfinance institutions and loan providers. An additional feature, MazaoBIMA, offers agricultural insurance that protects farmers against climate-induced crop failures and other risks.

The platform strengthens market access by directly connecting farmers with buyers, eliminating middlemen, and offering real-time price updates. It also provides a digital marketplace where farmers can trade produce and access farm inputs. Capacity-building efforts include digital training modules covering business planning, financial literacy, and post-harvest handling, delivered via both the app and community-based ICT hubs. These hubs also support group formation and cooperative development among farmers.

Key deliverables of Mazao Online include the mobile app itself, a robust farmer registration and profiling system, an AI-based crop advisory engine, an integrated marketplace module, and the MazaoBIMA insurance solution. The platform also features financial linkage systems, a farmer dashboard for data monitoring, e-learning tools, and a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation framework to track adoption and impact.

Mazao Online aims to reach over 500,000 smallholder farmers in Tanzania by 2027, with an expected average income increase of 30% within two harvest seasons. The platform also seeks to connect at least 60% of its users to financial and insurance services, thereby contributing significantly to enhanced food security, sustainable farming practices, and rural economic development.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The collaboration with FasterCapital yielded several measurable outcomes that demonstrate significant progress and success for the Mazao Online project. With their support, we developed a professionally crafted investor pitch deck, a comprehensive business plan, a detailed market study report, and a business viability assessment. These strategic documents have been instrumental in improving our investor engagement readiness. As a result, we have attracted interest from three angel investors, with two currently undergoing due diligence, and we have submitted applications to five accelerator and early-stage investment programs using the materials developed in partnership with FasterCapital.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

FasterCapital demonstrated strong project management capabilities throughout our collaboration. From the outset, they established a clear timeline for each deliverable, including the pitch deck, business plan, market study, and business viability report. All items were delivered either on or ahead of schedule, with milestones tracked through a structured and transparent communication process. They maintained consistent follow-up, provided regular progress updates, and adhered strictly to agreed-upon deadlines.

What truly stood out was their responsiveness to our needs. FasterCapital was highly flexible and adaptive, quickly incorporating feedback and tailoring their support to align with our evolving strategy and local market realities. Whether it was refining financial projections, adjusting product positioning, or reworking slide content to improve clarity for investors, they acted swiftly and constructively.

Mr. Hala Habeeb, in particular, was instrumental in maintaining open lines of communication, offering expert input, and ensuring that all deliverables met high-quality standards. His proactive engagement made the collaboration feel like a true partnership rather than just a consultancy service. Overall, their efficient project management and personalized support significantly contributed to the strategic growth and investor readiness of Mazao Online.

What was your primary form of communication with FasterCapital?

Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What stood out most about FasterCapital was their holistic and hands-on approach to startup support, which goes far beyond traditional advisory services. Unlike many firms that simply provide templates or generic guidance, FasterCapital takes the time to understand the unique context of your business and tailors every deliverable—from pitch decks to market studies—to reflect your specific goals, market environment, and investor targets.

One of the most impressive aspects is their deep technical and business expertise under one roof. They combine strategic planning, financial modeling, and market research with product development insights, ensuring that every aspect of the business is aligned and investor-ready. Their ability to provide end-to-end support, from ideation to fundraising, is rare and extremely valuable for early-stage startups.

The personalized attention we received—especially from Mr. Hala Habeeb—made the process smooth and impactful. His responsiveness, industry knowledge, and commitment to quality made a tangible difference in accelerating our readiness for funding and growth.

In summary, FasterCapital’s blend of professionalism, strategic depth, and execution makes them a uniquely valuable partner for any startup seeking to scale with confidence.

Are there any areas for improvement or something FasterCapital could have done differently?

While our overall experience with FasterCapital was excellent, one area for improvement is timeliness in responding to urgent queries or last-minute requests, as occasionally responses were slower than expected during critical phases.

We came up with the idea when we remarked that each of our friends has an account online where they store their songs. Those songs were accessible from a browser but known in most cases only to the owner. We were trying to look into our friend's directory to discover new music that we might like. Then the AHA moment came when we thought, why couldn't we turn this into an engine?
We contacted people in FasterCapital, explained our idea and prepared a business plan. They had already experience in developing a search engine and thus they can grealy help us as we don't have to start from zero.
We discussed on how we can improve on the crawler, increase its speed and make it dedicated to mp3 files. We crafted the specifications together and we started! After four months of working with them, we had a prototype. To our surprise, the prototype was able to find 100 million mp3 files within a month! After more improvement and running it for six months, we were able to cross our 2 billion songs!
The engine has also a recommendation style to allow users to discover music available online.

We are building a search engine on deep web to find all the music buried in the web. The engine will be able to identify and crawl sites and get mp3 files.
We also need to make a specialized player which will be able to use the search engine results to play a specific songs. Then we will need a recommendation engine to allow people to like a piece of music then discover new pieces from it.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

If you visit 4shared.com then you will find lot of mp3 files laying around. The same for many websites where people upload their music to the cloud. Is there a way we can play those songs? Is there a way where we can make a search engine from those songs? 

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

FasterCapital’s project management was highly efficient and organized. They kept us informed throughout every stage of the process, ensuring transparency and accountability. We were particularly impressed with how they managed timelines and consistently delivered on time. They were responsive to our needs, addressing any concerns quickly and offering solutions that helped us stay on track throughout the partnership.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What stood out most about FasterCapital was their hands-on approach and commitment to understanding our business at a deep level. They didn’t just offer generic advice or funding; they genuinely collaborated with us to understand the vision behind our product and guided us in making key decisions. Their team is highly proactive, offering innovative solutions and pushing us to think beyond the ordinary. Additionally, the fact that they were willing to cover a portion of our funding in exchange for equity was a unique aspect of their offering, aligning their interests with ours and showing a deep commitment to our success.

Are there any areas for improvement or something FasterCapital could have done differently?

Overall, our experience with FasterCapital was excellent, but one area that could be improved is their communication during the early stages of the partnership. While they were always responsive and helpful, there were occasional delays in the initial information exchange that caused slight confusion. Once the project gained momentum, however, communication became seamless. A more structured onboarding process could help set expectations early on and improve the initial stages of collaboration.

We had an idea to make it easier to develop mobile applications on many different platforms that are suitable for SMEs. We joined FasterCapital to get good consultation about our new idea and how best to implement it. The idea has been greatly improved, refined and we have now good sales operations going. We have already covered more than 18 different sectors with ready-made mobile applications on Android, iOS, and HTML. Our applications are native and compatible with a wide range of handsets.

To quickly create cross-platform mobile applications for different businesses, we built a framework that addresses both technical and business challenges. The framework allowed us to explain business processes and produce native code for different platforms. Although the development of this framework has taken more than one year and lots of iterations, it has helped easily and quickly build applications for 18 different sectors.
We are now presenting the customer with a half-made solution that is close to what they have in mind. In two weeks we can get a beta version of what the customer needs. Our software architecture is also separated in different layers thus we don't need to get access to the client's servers when building the mobile application.

What truly stood out to us was FasterCapital’s personalized approach. They took the time to fully understand our business, goals, and challenges, which allowed them to tailor their advice to our specific needs. This attention to detail made a significant difference and helped us refine our strategy in ways that felt meaningful and directly aligned with our objectives. Their extensive network of investors was another highlight, as it allowed us to connect with individuals who truly believed in our vision.

Are there any areas for improvement or something FasterCapital could have done differently?

While we were extremely satisfied with the overall experience, one area where FasterCapital could improve is in providing more post-funding support in operational areas, such as scaling our business and navigating the next steps after securing capital. Although their expertise in fundraising was exceptional, further guidance on areas like product development or operational scaling would have been valuable. However, this is a minor point compared to the immense value they brought to our fundraising process.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The idea started as a graduation project. We wanted to build a system facilitating the creation of marketplaces for a specific product. We remarked that many products can only be sold locally. The local marketplace should be vertical in nature to allow users to search easily depending on many attributes of each product. In each case someone had the idea to build a local marketplace then they had to start from scratch! It's a time consuming process. So we drafted an architecture allowing people to create marketplaces easily. 
Our early version was developed on .net then we moved it to php and added lot of features plus the creation of a mobile application supporting the marketplace.
To address these challenges, Bazarmaker implemented a robust architecture allowing users to create vertical marketplaces more efficiently. The team transitioned the platform from .NET to PHP, which enabled faster feature development and easier integration of plugins. The introduction of a mobile application streamlined the user experience, allowing users to access marketplaces on-the-go. 
Bazarmaker also incorporated customizable templates and modular components, which empowered users to tailor their marketplaces to specific product categories and local needs without starting from scratch. This approach reduced the time and effort required to launch new marketplaces while ensuring the platform could scale globally with minimal friction.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

As Bazarmaker expanded globally, it faced several key challenges. The initial problem stemmed from its users’ demand for highly specialized, localized marketplaces. Building a marketplace from scratch for each unique product or region was time-consuming and complex. 
Additionally, ensuring scalability and maintaining the user experience across different markets became increasingly difficult. Another major challenge was adapting the platform to cater to diverse user preferences and legal requirements in various regions.

Since about four to five years, virtualization became an interesting and important topic. We have come across many of our friends who were trying to get virtualization courses, either because the subject sounded cool or because their employers are interested in it and know that it's the future.
As we were expert in the subject, we got always consulted regarding what courses to take, advantages of each platform and how much this topic is getting attention. It was clear to us that many enterprises are understanding that virtualization has become a necessity. But there are still many challenges facing enterprises when they want to move to virtualization.
According to an article on the BusinessInsider describing the main challenges facing enterprises willing to move to virtualization, most challenges are that CIOs don't know the value of virtualization, lack of knowledge of running virtualization systems within the enterprise, and inability to assess resources need and new structure of a virtualized environment. It was clear to us that many enterprises wanted to move to virtualization but they lack the knowledge and the ability to move to the cloud.
Our goal is to bridge this gap by allowing IT staff with no prior virtualization knowledge to build a virtual network. We thought that such solution will allow tech people with no background knowledge about virtualization to build quickly and easily clouding solutions.

We came with the idea when we were watching a soccer match with friends. It is clear that all people are shouting at the same time when there's a missed chance or a goal that has been scored. The idea was to label moments on the video through crowd-sourcing. We also wanted to allow users to comment on a video in a specific time. Comments can then be replayed while users are rewatching shows and movies thus enriching the video content itself.
We worked on the idea for several iterations and we discussed it with friends to make sure it's attractive. It was clear that everybody was interested in the idea and its impact.

Lean-backward To Lean-Forward
One of the things we disliked most about TV experience is the lean-back experience where people are passive viewers who just watch with almost no interaction other than switching to another channel! We thought that this should change and we should enable people to comment and enrich the TV experience.
We can't change how TV is being watched but we can open a channel through PC & Mobile for people to comment and interact.
