The challenge
The founders had demand on both sides and investor money on a clock. They needed a real product in the stores for a launch window, without building features the first thousand users would never touch.
What we did
Scoped to a deliberately narrow first release: list, book, pay, review Split payments and escrow through Stripe Connect, with automated payouts Identity verification and fraud rules built in before launch, not bolted on after An internal console so the team could moderate listings and resolve disputes without engineering help Analytics wired from day one so product decisions came from behavior, not opinion
