Challenges we're tackling

UX & Education : we want to build an amazing experience with a powerful and beautiful interface for our users. Many of our users are used to affiliate marketing, and love watching gaming content, but they aren't sure what metrics to drive their decisions with.

Our customers feel empowered by the insights we provide - how can we build powerful features that enable users to get decision-driving insights fast, while making the process fun?

• Scalability : our brand users query and analyze data served their creators of choice, and creators check their "Athlane Scores" daily, so our frontend and backend systems need to be performant and reliable to support these workflows.
• Team agility : as an early-stage startup, especially one in a constantly changing ecosystem like gaming, we strive to balance product excellence with agility while maintaining rapid communications with our customers.

It's hard but always rewarding!
