Gates Ventures Mobile App – Revolutionising Community Engagement
Strategy - Design - Development
Users Stuck on Desktop,
Community Engagement Stalling
Gates Ventures had a vibrant online community powered by Verint, but while the platform is responsive and works well on mobile browsers, the lack of a dedicated app created limitations. In today’s mobile-first world, users expect instant, app-based experiences that offer seamless access wherever they are – on their commute, during lunch breaks, or from the couch.
Without a mobile app, community participation wasn’t reaching its full potential, and many important conversations were delayed. Gates Ventures needed a way to deliver faster, more engaging interactions through a dedicated mobile experience.
Mobilising the
Community (Literally!)
Design: Creating a Brand-Led Experience
We didn’t just build any app – we created a custom experience for Gates Ventures that seamlessly integrates their branding while ensuring consistency across the mobile platform. While the home page is fully custom, the rest of the app delivers the familiar website experience, enhanced with a custom header and footer for a polished mobile interface.
The Results:
Seamless integration of their logo and branding
A design that’s intuitive, mobile-optimised, and easy to navigate
A familiar look and feel that keeps users engaged
Want a mobile app that’s not just functional but also visually stunning? We’re here to help!
The Build:
Native and Powerful
We crafted the Gates Ventures app with two key parts:
Native functionality: Smooth, fast, and built for mobile.
Web-view elements: For seamless access to the community’s full range of features.
Features that solve real problems:
Login & Registration: Users can quickly access their community profiles with a simple log-in process or register straight from the app.
Instant Access to Conversations: The app’s home screen mirrors the Verint community’s activity feed, ensuring that users never miss a beat.
Notifications: Push alerts make sure that when users get replies or comments, they’re instantly notified. No more “I didn’t see that!” excuses.
Navigation: Easy-to-use buttons for News, Discussions, Challenges, and more, so users can find what they need fast.
The Best Part?
It’s primarily native. That means it’s fast, smooth, and optimised for mobile devices. Plus, it’s available on both iOS and Android.
Why This App Matters:

By creating a mobile app for Gates Ventures’ Verint platform, we solved a major problem: community engagement stuck in one place. Now, users can access the community anywhere—on their phones, on the go, and even offline.
