Keep growth moving when
your platform simplifies complexity
Fundstream, an Australian investment platform, had a bold vision for a new market offering — backed by strong creative and strategic clarity. But without a solid technical foundation, the concept couldn’t be delivered with the precision or control required.
Fundstream’s priorities were clear:
- Launch a high-performing investment platform
- Meet compliance requirements from day one
- Empower the internal team to manage updates independently
- Integrate seamlessly with the existing Caruso investment platform
The challenge was clear: create a functional, compliant platform that delivered clarity and accessibility to multiple audiences, from mobile investors browsing on the go, to brokers managing transactions behind the scenes.
Lab 385 identified the opportunity to translate bold creative direction into a compliant, scalable digital platform that supports ongoing business growth and internal autonomy.
