How can we authentically match senior business owners with young entrepreneurs in one of Germany's least populated areas?

For this government-funded matching platform, my team and me conceptualized, designed and built a robust but nuanced product over the course of a year. After launching it in 2022, the user's feedback is overwhelmingly positive. This will help the mission of keeping family businesses alive and preserving the region's economic infrastructures.
