Why Vital Knowledge?

Adam Crisafulli is a respected voice in the world of stock market analysis. With tens of thousands of readers following his market commentary, Adam formed Vital Knowledge as an independent media organization.

He wanted Vital Knowledge to capture the narrative of the market, curating critical news and information alongside original analysis that helps investors navigate the increasingly noisy media landscape.

Monetizing his 20 years on Wall Street.

Adam knows how to write market commentary, analyze important events, and attract the attention of hedge funds, mutual funds, family offices, and private equity firms. He needed help with the software side of his new business venture: building a subscription service to easily distribute this content to paying customers.

Delivering market insights to tens of thousands of readers.

Step into the SolutionLab.

Designli's proprietary product roadmapping initiative, named the SolutionLab, helped Adam thoroughly plan out what it would mean to launch a digital business.

A technical product plan for a non-technical founder.

Adam knew he was launching a startup that relied on technology. And he trusted the SolutionLab for bringing his vision into a tangible blueprint for what that business would look like: technical documentation, but without the developer jargon.

A UX focus: Meeting readers where they were.

In the SolutionLab, User Personas are an important discussion point that dictate functionality. Adam knew his readers would be at trading desks, with his website up on one of their many screens; or, on-the-go and needing to load a lightweight webpage quickly.

Designli handled the from-scratch Agile Development of the VitalKnowledge.net content delivery web-app and subscription system, developed in Angular and Node (and using Stripe for payment processing). Since public launch, Designli continues to watch Adam promote the Vital brand, and assists with the ongoing implementation of new features to help him expand his reach.
