Marketplace apps that actually transact.

A marketplace is two products in one, supply and demand, and it lives or dies on trust. We've built marketplaces that went live, raised money and ran billboards. We can build yours.

$10M+Raised by Tamam, a marketplace we built

Two-sided from day one

Most marketplace projects stall on the cold-start problem: empty supply, no demand, no trust, and a build that tries to do everything at once. We scope a brutal first version that nails one loop (list, discover, agree, transact) and earns trust before it adds breadth.

We've done this for real. We were on the founding team of Tamam, an on-demand services marketplace live across the UAE that has raised over $10M, and Dealio, the first marketplace in Syria to introduce AI. We designed and built both end to end.

What we cover

What a marketplace needs, and what we build

01
Two-sided onboarding

Separate, frictionless flows for buyers and sellers (or customers and pros), with verification where trust demands it.

02
Listings & smart search

Structured listings with search and filters by category, price and distance. Fast even on a small screen and a thin connection.

03
In-app chat

Safe negotiation and coordination without phone numbers leaving the app, with a record both sides can see.

04
Payments & escrow

In-app payments, payouts and optional escrow via Stripe or local rails, so money never has to change hands at the door.

05
Trust & ratings

Reviews, verification badges and dispute paths: the trust layer that makes strangers transact.

06
Live tracking

Real-time order and delivery tracking, the mental model people already have from ride-hailing.

FAQ

Marketplace FAQ

A focused first version is typically a few months of milestone-based build after a two-week discovery sprint. The exact timeline depends on the number of sides, payment complexity and whether you need iOS, Android and web on day one.
