Case Study: SylvaCap achieves gamified stock-market engagement and financial literacy with VectorOne's Pick 5 platform

SylvaCap launches Pick 5 with VectorOne, attracting 4,000+ contestants

SylvaCap approached VectorOne with the vision to develop Pick 5, a gamified stock market platform designed to promote financial literacy. The challenge was to create an engaging and simple-to-use application that would allow users to pick stock portfolios and compete in contests, all while ensuring secure operations and real-time market data integration.

VectorOne developed the Pick 5 platform on scalable AWS architecture, integrating APIs like Intrinio for real-time financial data and utilizing Auth0 for secure user login. The solution included a functional mockup to secure funding and a beta test to refine the platform. The results were highly successful, with the initial contest attracting over 4,000 users. The platform now consistently hosts more than 6,000 users per month and has distributed cash prizes to monthly winners, effectively promoting its educational and gamified trading goals.
