    Challenge

    Mission-first, without an in-house tech team

    Wishly's founders had a strong mission but lacked the technical foundation to bring it to life. Usability, trust, and simplicity were critical to drive adoption across diverse audiences.

    Secure, transparent micro-donations and payout flows

    Social-style profiles and interactions without compromising trust

    Low friction in the donation journey to encourage recurring giving

    Engagement through matching, analytics, and campaign visibility
