Two-sided marketplace from zero
Marketplace founder
Drag the handle or use arrow keys to compare wireframe vs shipped UI.
The challenge
A founder needed a complete two-sided marketplace (listings, payments, messaging, and admin) with a 6-week runway before a seed round demo.
The solution
End-to-end build over 6 weeks: seller onboarding, Stripe Connect payouts, real-time messaging, search with filters, and an admin dashboard. Weekly strategy calls kept scope tight.
“One person built what agencies quoted us $40k and 4 months for. The codebase is clean enough that we hired our first engineer and they ramped in a week.”
Outcome
$12k
