2-Sided Marketplaces All Need the Same Thing

Last week I was talking to a founder who was delaying his startup's launch date. He'd built everything he needed to onboard vendors and customers, but he was going to have to spend the next month re-inventing the wheel.

"I have to build a messaging service so the vendors and customers can communicate. They need to schedule appointments, get questions answered, and have the security of knowing they can contact the other person."

He's not alone. Every startup I've talked to with a 2-sided marketplace is building the same thing. They're all re-inventing the wheel. They're building a whole messaging toolkit, but they really only need a couple of things:

1. The want to control appointment scheduling and collect payment at the same time.

2. They want to provide communication that stays in their ecosystem, not going "off the radar" to phone, text and email.

The founder was excited when I told him that I can give him a tool that does all of that already - and he doesn't have to build it. It's called ContactLink, and it's ready to integrate with your marketplace.
