Marketplaces
Two sides, one flywheel
Marketplaces fail on liquidity, not features. We build the onboarding, matching, payments, and trust mechanics that get both sides to show up — and stay.
Supply side
- Onboarding that makes providers look great
- Inventory & calendar tooling
- Payouts, taxes, dispute shields
Demand side
- Search & matching tuned for fill rate
- Trust signals at every decision
- One-tap booking and escrow-backed payment
The liquidity flywheel
Every sprint feeds the loop.
More supply improves matches; better matches convert demand; converted demand attracts supply. We prioritize the backlog by which feature spins this wheel fastest — nothing else earns a sprint.

FAQ
Answers to common questions.
How do we solve the chicken-and-egg problem?+
Constrain the niche, subsidize or hand-curate supply first, and fake nothing that touches money. The liquidity strategy phase turns this into a concrete sequence for your market.
How do payments and payouts work?+
Typically Stripe Connect: the platform takes its fee, funds hold in escrow until service confirmation, then split-pay out. Disputes and refunds are designed flows, not support tickets.
How long to a functioning marketplace?+
A constrained-niche v1 with real transactions in 12–16 weeks. Broad horizontal platforms take longer — and usually shouldn't be v1.
Two sides of a market from you,
the flywheel from us.
Marketplaces don't fail on features. They fail on liquidity.
