The problem Sharkbucks solves

Sharkbucks provides a platform which helps bridging the gap between investors and SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises), making it easier, faster, and safer for both parties to connect and transact. Here's how Sharkbucks solves key challenges:

  • Many SMEs struggle to access competitive funding options. Sharkbucks offers SMEs a platform where they can easily find competitive loan offers tailored to their needs, improving their access to capital.
  • The platform uses a finely-tuned Machine Learning model to match SMEs with compatible investors, ensuring better investment outcomes for both parties. This reduces the guesswork and improves the chances of successful funding.
  • By integrating Aptos for secure, on-chain payments, Sharkbucks provides a trustless and scalable payment mechanism, ensuring that transactions are fast, transparent, and safe.
  • With the help of NLP-based chatbots via PLOTCH.ai, users can quickly navigate government schemes and find relevant investment opportunities or loan options, making the platform more user-friendly and efficient.

Challenges we ran into

  • Aptos Integration:
    Integrating Aptos for secure payments was tricky due to its complexity. We overcame this by thoroughly studying the documentation and running several test transactions to ensure smooth payment processing.
  • Machine Learning Model Optimization:
    Matching investors with SMEs required fine-tuning our ML model. We iterated on the model using test data and improved performance by using mathematical calculations.
  • LLM Chatbot Development:
    Guiding LLM chatbots for government schemes was challenging. We improved them by providing better context and continuously testing the chatbots' responses for clarity and relevance.
