Business Development

Project Snapshot
My Role: Founder & Sole-Proprietor
Project Duration: May 2023 – July 2024 (1 year, 3 months)
Key Achievements: Generated $15k in revenue, completed 6+ Webflow projects, and contributed to 4+ product design projects.
The Problem
Early-stage startups and small businesses often face a critical dilemma: they need high-quality design and development to build their product and brand, but they lack the budget, time, and resources to recruit, hire, and manage a full-time in-house team. This often leads to compromised quality, missed deadlines, and slow growth.
The Pain Points
High Overhead Costs: The salaries, benefits, and administrative costs of hiring full-time designers and developers are prohibitive for new ventures.
Talent Scarcity: Finding, vetting, and hiring specialized talent (like Webflow developers or product designers) is a time-consuming and difficult process.
Lack of Flexibility: Traditional agency models can be rigid and expensive, while freelance marketplaces can be inconsistent in quality and reliability.
Execution Gap: Founders have a vision but lack the specific technical and design skills to execute it effectively and professionally.
The Target Users
The primary clients are early-stage startups and small businesses, particularly in the US, that need to build a strong digital presence quickly and efficiently. These are typically founders and small teams who value high-quality execution but need a more agile and cost-effective alternative to traditional hiring.
The Solution
Hurrae was founded to bridge this gap by offering a streamlined "Team as a Service" model. The solution is to provide a one-stop-shop for critical services, allowing clients to tap into a professional team for:
Branding: Creating a strong and memorable brand identity.
Product Design: Assisting with the UI/UX and prototyping of digital products.
Webflow Development: Building high-quality, scalable websites with speed and precision.
By acting as a single, reliable partner, Hurrae allowed startups to access top-tier talent and achieve their design and development goals without the financial and administrative burden of building an in-house team.
