Build
Design and build new marketplaces and platforms.
Typical problems when building platforms:
What is the business model behind our marketplace, matching platform or portal?
How do we reach our customers? Do they really want what we offer? What are they willing to pay?
Which technology is right for us? How do we find a reliable partner?
How much investment do we need and when? Which types are the right ones for us?
Where and how do we launch best? How do we operate our platform? How do we prevent it from rotting on us?
We bring clarity to your planning: With platform-specific tools & methods.
Together we develop and scale your platform: With over 20 years of experience in development and operation in many industries. The best part? You don't have to have everything perfectly figured out yet. We help you ask the right questions and take the next steps with a clear focus.
How your new platform turns into a success
Business Model. First. Manage risks securely.
Before you invest time and money in technology, you need a sharp understanding of your business model. Who are your target audiences? What specific offers do you have for them? How do you validate this early in the market?
Together, we ensure that your business model is a solid foundation. With methods that work and create clarity.
Business and Tech. Never separate.
In order for your idea to stand out, customer needs, technology, and business model must be closely intertwined. The best idea will fail without the right software, and vice versa. We support you with proven templates and best practices, as well as over 20 years of experience in the platform business. From testing your idea in the market to optimization and scaling. Your guiding thread for your platform success.
The right tech solution. For you.
What is the best technology for you? Is standard software enough or do you need something more individualized? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the solutions? In order for YOU to make this decision confidently, you need to know how your processes work and what your platform should be able to do. Our consulting framework helps you to find this out. Technically, we also have a really good hybrid solution for many use cases due to our specialization in marketplaces & platform business models. Ready-to-use modules where best practices and efficiency are required. Combined with unlimited customization possibilities. The trick: Everything that is still missing or not fitting optimally, we develop quickly and efficiently with the help of our own code generators and generative AI. When it comes to user interfaces, you have the choice between customizable and scalable white-label frontends or completely individual UIs. Important: You only pay for what you really need. More information can be found on our technology page.
Finance and Financing. Needs and Options.
Do you have your numbers under control? Do you know how much investment you need and what forms are right for you?
Good ideas don't have to fail because of money. From bootstrapping (equity, friends & family, …) to business angels, venture capital, family offices, accelerators, and funding, there are many ways to access the necessary capital.
We are happy to compare your assumptions with our experiences, provide tips on the appropriate type of capital, help with the pitch deck, and make our network available.
Clarity and Teamwork. Focused. Experienced. Successful.
The most important factor for your success? Clarity! About who your customers are, what they really want, and what they are willing to pay for. AND: Clarity in and between your minds. Visualized on your Roadmap. Not all of your 1,000 Todos are important. And you don't have to solve them all alone. So that you stay in the driver's seat of your business model and keep an overview, we support you as sparring partners. We complement missing skills or resources in your team or connect you with specialized partners. We develop your platform together in agile sprints. With permanent, personal contact persons as one team.
Correct solutions. At the right time.
Should we start directly with a platform? Or a prototype? Or an MVP? What is actually the difference? Or should we first validate the demand?
It depends. On you. Where you stand. The important thing is: Knowing the toolbox, so as not to go after screws with a hammer. If you are unsure or need an outside opinion. Gladly.
Our wunschlösung platform approach provides answers to all core questions of your phases. From 'How good is our idea?', 'When and how should we test what?' to 'What should our smallest 'sellable' starting product (MVP) look like?' to 'How do we scale the business model and platform?'
Our architectures are modular, secure, and future-proof. With us, you can start quickly and think big.
Is it all a bit overwhelming?
Yes, but it's quite normal in your situation.
For us, this is our home turf. With best practices, experience, and platform methodology, we help you keep track of things.
How does it work?
Platform- Sparring Session
In a video call, we get to know each other, talk about where you are, where you want to go, and what matters now. We provide you with feedback and concrete options for your next steps.
Platform-Strategy Workshop
Depending on your bottleneck, we focus on your business model or platform requirements. If you are already advanced, we challenge. Otherwise, we design together. Depending on the focus, we start for example with customer segments and needs, positioning of your offerings, core processes and features. With our framework, order and clarity come into your roadmap. After that, we know each other and can decide if we want to continue together.
Sharpen ideas and fundamentals
From the workshop, the most important work packages emerge so that you have clarity and can establish the project on a reliable foundation. Often there are topics from different areas: e.g. sharpening customer insights, open questions in the business model, financing, or in the tech area. We rock this together.
Design and test assumptions
The preliminary work is done, now it's time to get to the heart of the matter: WHEN does your platform need to be able to do WHAT in detail? We discuss core processes, derive requirements, design user flows and a system architecture. Depending on what the best approach is in your case, we develop prototypes, interview, test or co-create with desired customers. As your sparring partner, in workshops or as a condensed design sprint.
Develop and test
One of our developer teams is building your platform in agile mode. With modern technologies, modular API-first architecture, and a focus on usability and stability. Where it makes sense, we use our ready-to-use modules and the wunschlösung code generators as well as disruptive AI. So that your platform can go live quickly and efficiently.

Launch and scale
The appropriate launch approach has been chosen. Your platform has successfully gone live. Now it's about operation, support, and understanding what makes your customers and you even better.
This is how we optimize and develop your platform together. Technically, according to user and business needs, but also in terms of scaling your business model.

"The critical questioning by the team helps to find the best solution - and not only in a technical sense. At times, I have the feeling that the wunschlösung project team understands the business better than some in the industry."
