Six Weeks to

Market Validation

StakeMate, a social wager platform eyeing the US and UK markets, faced a critical juncture in its development. The founder recognized the need to elevate the platform’s user experience, refine the codebase, and revamp their approach to product management. Provoke stepped in to assist StakeMate in this pivotal phase, focusing on redesigning the user experience, implementing industry-standard coding practices, and managing the product backlog. The goal was a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) deployment, within a six-week timeframe. 

StakeMate’s journey from an alpha version to a market-ready MVP was marked by a series of strategic enhancements. The platform, with its unique position in the social wagering space, required a user experience that could engage and retain users in the competitive markets of the US and UK.


Provoke’s intervention began with a comprehensive redesign of the user interface. This redesign was not just about aesthetics; it was a strategic overhaul to improve user engagement and intuitiveness. Alongside this, Provoke’s team implemented industry-standard coding practices to ensure the platform’s robustness and scalability.

Another critical aspect was the management of the product backlog. Provoke’s expertise in product management came to the fore here, helping StakeMate prioritize features and functionalities that were essential for the MVP. This process was crucial in aligning the product development with market expectations and business goals.


The collaboration between StakeMate and Provoke was intense and productive, marked by a shared commitment to achieving rapid and effective results. Within a span of just six weeks, StakeMate was able to transition from an alpha version to an MVP that was ready for market validation.
