The Challenge

The GASoft team had a vision for an AI-powered mindmapping tool but needed to transition from service-based work to product development. They required product strategy, user experience design, subscription business model setup, and the technical infrastructure to support a SaaS platform with AI integrations.

Our Solution

NIQ Brands provided comprehensive SaaS business development support. We helped define the product strategy, established subscription billing systems, guided the technical architecture decisions, and provided capital for extended development time. Our approach focused on building a sustainable recurring revenue model while maintaining the innovative AI features.
