Case Study: I.G. Advisors launches The Mesa social network for philanthropy with Vega IT

I.G. Advisors launches the first social network for philanthropy with Vega IT

I.G. Advisors, an award-winning strategy consultancy, faced the challenge of creating a centralized, gated social network for philanthropy to help ultra-high-net-worth individuals connect and collaborate online. Their research showed donors struggled to build relationships and find philanthropic opportunities in the digital space. To bring this vision to life, they partnered with vendor Vega IT as their technical partner and team extension.

Vega IT developed The Mesa, the first social network for philanthropy, from the ground up using a tech stack including React and .NET. Their 23-person team implemented Scrum for an incremental development process, resulting in a secure, invite-only platform with features like smart search, event creation, and user profiles. The solution successfully created a safe digital ecosystem for donors to learn, grow, and drive sectoral change, unlocking the strength of social impact.
