Built a marketplace available on app store connecting app devs with creators for sponsored posts. Currently recruiting app devs
My team and I built Faze Marketing, a marketplace currently on the App Store connecting app developers with social media creators for sponsored posts that suit your budget. Right now we're recruiting a batch of app or web app developers before we allow influencers to enter. This is so that when the influencers come in, they have campaigns to browse through on their feed.
As a developer on Faze, simply join as a developer, post a TikTok style video campaign showcasing your product, and your video will show up on the feeds of influencers in your niche. Influencers then have the chance to pitch to you a rate for a sponsored posts suiting your budget and you can either accept or counter the rate. When a rate is agreed upon, the influencer will send a draft post in Faze's built in chat system for the developer to review. Once reviewed and approved, the influencer will be prompted to post on their social media account.
If you've got an app or Saas product and are struggling with getting views, downloads, and paying users, we would love for you to check it out!

The interesting part here isn't recruiting developers first.
It's that the first successful transactions will probably teach you what the marketplace actually is.
Marketplaces often start with one story and end up getting pulled somewhere else by the first users who consistently get value.
I'd be curious whether the early campaigns reinforce your current assumptions or challenge them.
That's a really good point. Honestly that's part of why I'm recruiting developers first before opening to creators. I want to see what kinds of campaigns actually get traction and let that shape how the platform evolves. Already learning a lot just from the early outreach. Will definitely share updates as the first transactions come in.
Makes sense.
The thing I'd watch is whether the lessons come from the transactions themselves or from the people who keep creating them.
Those aren't always the same source of signal.
