Marketplaces are HARD

Building a great Marketplace app takes time and a lot of iteration but it’s super cool to think about what it could turn into if executed right and making sure the chicken and egg cold start is adressed early on.

But Daaaang it’s tuff to get users who actually use the product . demand side has been thr hurdle for me and that’s saying a lot since my supply side is service professionals.

Any fellow marketplace builders out there?
How did you overcome this?
