A partnership in two chapters.

First, Streaver gave Wingtap back control of its own product — migrating the donation platform off its former vendor onto independent AWS. They validated it, raised their first major round, and came back to build 2.0 with us.

Post first major round

Wingtap is a mobile-first platform for charitable giving — a marketplace that pairs donors with vetted nonprofits and the projects they're funding, built around simplicity, transparency, and trust. It lets people discover causes, give in a few taps, and track the impact of their generosity over time.

It's the work of two brothers: Nikita Ryjov in Zurich, who owns the business, fundraising, and growth, and Anton Ryjov in Geneva, who leads product and technical direction. Their north star is ambitious — reach a million donors — and they hold a clear principle: the app should feel alive even with only a handful of people in it.

2024 · The foundationWinning back independence

Wingtap first came to Streaver in the wake of a hard partnership transition. Their entire product — repositories, hosting, the works — sat inside their former tech partner's proprietary environment. They didn't fully control their own software, and that dependency capped how fast and how far they could grow.

Streaver's first job wasn't features. It was freedom: a staged migration of the whole platform onto independent, industry-standard infrastructure with zero disruption to live users — then the modernization and stabilization needed to make it a foundation worth building on.

Full infrastructure migration

Repos, database, API, and assets moved to scalable AWS, incrementally, with minimal downtime.

Reclaimed autonomy

Control of every system handed back to Wingtap — no more reliance on a proprietary stack.

Secure social sign-in

AWS Cognito via CDK enabled Google and Facebook login and smoother registration.

Stability & performance

Dependency audit, security fixes, and resolution of scroll, load, and receipt issues.

The proof

They took that foundation, validated it in the market over two years — then raised their first major round and came back.

02The Challenge

Re-centering the experience on the donor.

The MVP did its job — people gave, and the model worked. But it was utilitarian: go in, donate, done. With funding in hand, Nikita and Anton wanted something bigger — to make Wingtap the place where a donor's generosity lives, the way Strava holds an athlete's identity or Spotify holds your music.

That meant re-centering the entire experience on the donor rather than the nonprofit: a living feed of projects and updates, visible and gamified contribution, and a social layer that lets people give together — all while still feeling alive at small scale. A rebuild, not a reskin.

  • Wingtap Discover feed — donors browse vetted campaigns by cause, each card showing live funding progress and an Invest action.
  • Wingtap donor profile — a giving history with amounts and a receipt for each donation.
  • Wingtap Updates feed — funded organisations post progress reports that donors can react to.
The donor experienceDiscover vetted campaigns, track every gift and receipt, and follow the real-world impact — the donor-facing surface we re-centred Wingtap 2.0 around.
03What We're Building

Four pillars for Wingtap 2.0.

Streaver embedded a dedicated, AI-augmented pod alongside the founders — design first, then engineering — to deliver the 2.0 around four product pillars.

01

A live world

Projects, news, and nonprofit updates that feel ongoing, never static.

02

Visible contribution

Donations surface across the app, with streaks and levels that reward giving.

03

Generosity seen

Donors see each other's impact, nudge friends, and give together.

04

Alive at small scale

The experience feels populated even with only a handful of active users.

Strategy before code. Before committing a line, Streaver worked the founders through the platform's biggest open question — a web/PWA experience versus staying native. The recommendation and the trade-offs were laid out plainly; Wingtap chose native React Native for long-term scalability and App Store presence, with Streaver keeping a parallel path under evaluation as a comparison.

An AI-augmented build. The 2.0 runs on Streaver's agentic development workflow — tooling set up under Wingtap's own org so they own it — pairing a lean senior team with AI to move faster without losing the craft.

Product design

A senior product designer defining the 2.0 flows and visual direction in Figma.

PWA-vs-native advisory

A strategic analysis that framed the platform decision as a growth call, not just a tech one.

Donor-first feed

Home, Give flow, and a blended news/projects experience redesigned around the donor.

Engagement systems

Leveling, streaks, tipping, and onboarding designed to bring people back.

Our plan is to work with you for the foreseeable future — it's a long-term thing.
Anton RyjovCo-founder & Technical Lead, Wingtap

"We are happy to work with you — there's no question there." — Nikita Ryjov, Co-founder, on reaffirming the partnership ahead of the 2.0 build.

04Why They Came Back

The simplest proof of a partnership.

The simplest proof of a partnership is a client who returns. Wingtap left their first vendor because they lost control of their own product. They returned to Streaver, after raising, because the opposite was true here — a team that handed them autonomy, told them the truth on hard calls, and treated their million-donor ambition as its own. The 2.0 is being built by an embedded pod that operates as an extension of the founding team.

We migrate without dropping a beat — and we stay to build 2.0.

Streaver runs staged migrations of live production systems onto accounts you actually own — then partners on the rebuild that follows. Foundation, then ambition.
