01 / Context
Overview
Startup Olympus is a Moroccan startup incubator that supports founders from the idea to their first client. We designed and set up its platform, which brings together in one place founder training, the incubation programme, a social network between members, booking sessions with mentors, crowdfunding and a shop of services to set up and structure a company. Founders therefore follow their whole journey without switching tools.
02 / Starting point
What the project had to solve
A founder starting out needs three things that are rarely found in the same place: a network, resources and expert advice, and early funding. The incubator therefore wanted to bring students, mentors and investors together on one platform, where people learn, exchange and fund projects.
03 / Scope
Scope
We designed the platform's architecture, chose and configured each of its modules, built its pages and learning paths, then connected learning, the network, booking, funding and the shop around a single account.
04 / Decisions
Decisions
We built the training around the real stages of incubation, so each assignment matches a deliverable the founder has to produce, from ideation to preparing a fundraise. Courses open in order, with prerequisites and content released step by step, because each stage builds on the previous one. Access to a learning path comes with a purchase or a subscription, so the incubator can offer the same programme to several partner institutions and several countries, each with its own portal. Founders keep the same account across learning, the network, booking and the shop.
05 / Build
What we built
Founders follow learning paths split into lessons, assignments and quizzes, with attached documents, several instructors per course and a certificate at the end of each path. Live sessions run by video call, and a calendar gathers the deadlines. In the network, everyone has a profile, follows other members, joins groups, posts to the news feed, takes part in forums and exchanges messages, photos and documents included. Founders book a session with a mentor, sign up for the incubator's events, browse the opportunities it publishes and can launch a crowdfunding campaign, so a project finds its first backers without leaving the platform. The shop also offers legal templates, such as a business plan or a non-disclosure agreement, and company formation in Morocco and abroad, with an e-wallet and a points system.
06 / Technology and integration
Technology and integration
The platform runs on WordPress, with BuddyBoss for the social network, Tutor LMS for learning, WooCommerce for the shop and subscriptions, Amelia for mentor booking and Events Manager for events, all laid out with Elementor. Each module keeps its own back office, while members, access rights and payments are shared across the whole platform. Members receive their notifications by email and in the browser.
