Target Audience: Early-stage startup founders, build-in-public entrepreneurs, solo founders, and teams seeking quick access to quality design talent for product interfaces and branded merchandise.
Monetization: Revenue streams include commission on hires, premium memberships for designers, featured listings, and project-based fees or subscriptions.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP): Combining UX/UI and merchandise design services in one platform tailored for build-in-public communities, making branding workflows efficient with vetted, community-verified designers.
Launch Strategy: Start by creating a simple online portfolio showcasing top designers, promote within build-in-public channels, encourage initial sign-ups, and facilitate matchmaking to validate demand and refine the platform.
