Funding Fyre is a resource hub for founders — 700+ globally pitched decks, investment memos, and pitch reels, indexed by industry, funding stage, and round. The platform's value depends on a single question: can a founder find the exact reference they need in under five seconds?
We rebuilt the platform from infrastructure up — a scalable cloud delivery layer, a separate document store for resilience, ML‑assisted search, magic‑link onboarding, and a UI that gets out of the way of the material itself.
A 700‑deck library is only useful if the right deck surfaces in seconds. Pile that together with investment memos, pitch reels, and thousands of metadata fields, and the design problem becomes a search problem dressed up as a UI problem.
The platform also has to stay up under spiky traffic, protect a curated corpus, and give first‑time visitors a sense of scale without making them dig through a wall of links.
Founders read pitch decks for inspiration. They don't have time to fight an interface to do it.
We treated this as four interlocking sub‑projects: cloud delivery, document store, search and ranking, and the UI on top. Each one solved a different bottleneck — and together they let the catalogue scale without the experience getting heavier.
Post‑launch metrics confirmed the architecture choices were right: average session time and search efficiency both improved, near‑zero downtime under spiky load, and the catalogue continues to grow without re‑platforming.
