Initially conceived as a training tool, the product evolved into a strategic decision-making platform for experienced military planners. Working within a tight 5-month timeline, I led a highly collaborative team that operated in a dynamic, fast-paced startup environment, navigating shifting project scopes and tight deadlines. Our approach blended traditional product design and development methods with real-time collaboration, constantly aligning with our engineering team via chat and calls. Despite the challenges, including unforeseen development constraints, we successfully delivered a product that met all contractual requirements. The outcome was a key driver in raising $40 million during our seed round, with customers expressing great satisfaction in the product’s performance. Though specific data remains confidential, the project marked a significant milestone in military planning solutions.
