I’ve had a few conversations lately with founders building “AI-powered marketplaces.” And here’s what I am seeing; brilliant vision. Big ambition. Too much too soon. Let me share some top level advice for anyone building in this space 👇 1️⃣ Pick ONE Core Problem Not everything all at once. A marketplace dies when it tries to solve everything. Instead ask: What is the ONE urgent pain we solve in version one? Clarity wins. 2️⃣ Define ICP1 (Primary Customer) — Not “Everyone” Marketplaces fail when they serve “all women,” “all freelancers,” or “all industries.” Choose: - One demographic - One income pressure profile - One skill level - One use case If you don’t define ICP1, your product will feel generic. Generic = forgettable. Forgettable = no traction. 3️⃣ Solve the Chicken-and-Egg Problem Early Every two-sided platform faces this: You need supply and demand. But you actually need demand first. No demand = dead platform. Before building tech, validate: - Who is paying? - For what? - At what price? - How fast do they need it? Manual matching > automated matching in the beginning. Proof before platform. 4️⃣ MVP ≠ App Your MVP is not: - A full marketplace - Swipe functionality - Automated screening - AI matching engine Your MVP is: - Clear profiles - Defined micro-offers - Real transactions - Feedback loops If real money changes hands, you have validation. If not, you have a concept. 5️⃣ Your Real Moat Isn’t Technology Fiverr has tech. Upwork has scale. LinkedIn has reach. Your moat is: - Identity synthesis - Speed of monetization - Trust layer - Niche focus - Cultural positioning - Community Technology is an enabler. Clarity is the differentiator. 6️⃣ Build Fast — But Validate Faster Before hiring developers: - Write the one-sentence pitch. - Build the competitive matrix. - Identify white space. - Create a simple landing page. - Collect 100 emails. - Run pre-sales or beta trials. If no one signs up? You just saved yourself 6 months of build time.
