HANDSHAKE FINANCE

Empowering Growth with Full-Stack Product Leadership

Challenge

Handshake.Finance had previously partnered with an underperforming tech provider, which significantly delayed product development. The company lacked a dedicated Product Manager to align development with business goals, and had no CTO to lead technology strategy or ensure long-term quality.

Solution

Inipod stepped in to provide strategic and operational support across all key areas:

Deployed a focused, high-performance tech team to replace the former vendor

Took over Product Management, creating a structured roadmap and feature prioritization aligned with growth goals

Delivered CTO-as-a-Service, setting technical direction, optimizing processes, and aligning product with business strategy

Introduced an Agile development model suited to startup dynamics and evolving requirements

Results

  • Accelerated product development, cutting time to MVP

  • Clear, measurable product vision and roadmap

  • Handshake’s internal team could focus on market growth while Inipod handled the technology layer

  • Increased trust from investors and partners thanks to a reliable, professional product development system
