truCrowd - HyperSense's Innovative Equity Crowdfunding Platform Development

HyperSense is proud to present truCrowd, an innovative equity crowdfunding platform we developed to empower startups and investors alike. Launched in 2013 amidst the evolving SEC laws and regulations, truCrowd has grown to become a leader in the crowdfunding industry.

Project Overview

truCrowd Inc. is a forward-thinking company that has revolutionized the equity crowdfunding landscape by connecting startups with potential investors through a secure and user-friendly web platform.

Equity crowdfunding is an innovative method for startups to raise capital by allowing a large number of individuals to invest small amounts of money in exchange for equity shares.

Some of Our Challenges

Throughout the development of truCrowd's equity funding platform, our team faced several unique challenges. These included:

Adapting UX Design to Changing Regulations

As the SEC laws and regulations evolved, our UI/UX design team had to rapidly iterate and adapt the platform's design to ensure compliance. This required constant communication with truCrowd's legal team and a deep understanding of the new requirements.

Complex Logging System for Auditing

To meet the stringent regulatory demands for transparency and accountability, the platform needed a sophisticated logging system. This system had to track and record all user actions, financial transactions, and other relevant events for future auditing purposes.

Secure Document Management

One of the most challenging features to implement was the secure document management system. This system demanded end-to-end encryption, detailed change logs, and the ability to preview documents online without the option to download. Ensuring the highest level of security and confidentiality for sensitive documents while maintaining ease of use was a critical priority for the platform's success.

Responsive Web Design

According to the users' needs and the devices they're using, whether a tablet, a laptop, or a smartphone, the responsive web design optimization works seamlessly. Depending on the capability and size of the gadget, the layout adjusts automatically. By implementing this, we created a fantastic user experience that aids truCrowd's users engage with the web application.

Robust Document Management System

Our team developed a secure document management system with end-to-end encryption, detailed change logs, and online previews without download capabilities. This solution balanced security and confidentiality with ease of use for sensitive documents.

AWS Deployment and Infrastructure

The truCrowd platform was deployed on Amazon Web Services (AWS), utilizing the latest cloud technologies and best practices to ensure high performance, scalability, and security.

High Availability and Redundancy

To guarantee uninterrupted service and minimize downtime, we set up a high availability and redundancy system using AWS Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) and AWS Elastic Beanstalk. This solution ensured that the platform could effectively handle increased traffic and load while maintaining optimal performance
