About Bord
Founded in 2022 by seasoned entrepreneurs who previously made a significant exit in the Estonian startup ecosystem, Bord is a fresh and innovative startup focused on revolutionizing compliance management for investment fund managers. Leveraging their extensive experience and industry insights, the founders have developed a cutting-edge SaaS platform designed to streamline the Know Your Business (KYB) process for Limited Partners. Bord is committed to delivering efficient, scalable, and user-friendly solutions that meet the evolving needs of the financial industry.
The Challenge
Building a web-based SaaS product tailored for investment fund managers to manage the Know Your Business (KYB) process for their Limited Partners required a solid foundation and quick time-to-market capabilities. The challenge was to design a platform that not only simplifies compliance management but also integrates seamlessly with various third-party data sources while being scalable and reliable. Achieving this involved creating a unified architecture that could handle complex workflows efficiently while providing an intuitive user interface.
The Result
Utilizing Nest.js as the core framework, Bord was developed with a strong emphasis on modularity, scalability, and maintainability. Nest.js, known for its powerful dependency injection and out-of-the-box support for TypeScript, allowed the development team to build a well-structured and organized backend. The combination of Knex.js and TypeORM with Postgres ensures robust and efficient data handling, while the Nest.js framework facilitates seamless integration of complex features such as detailed account screening, risk management, and digital verification. The system also benefits from Nest.js’s built-in support for microservices architecture, making the platform highly scalable and adaptable to the evolving needs of investment fund managers. This resulted in a powerful, intuitive, and reliable KYB management tool that is quick to market and easy to maintain, ensuring long-term success for Bord and its users.
