I Built Startup For Artist and Media People's

What's up, indie hackers! 🎨

Just launched a collaboration platform that connects artists with media professionals, and the numbers are crazy good after 4 months - 320 active artists, 89 media pros, 47 completed collaborations, and $8,200 in total project value processed with users coming back 67% of the time within 30 days. The problem was simple: talented artists stuck posting on Instagram hoping media companies find them, while agencies desperately search for fresh creative talent with no efficient discovery method. So I built a hybrid between Behance's showcase power and Upwork's collaboration tools specifically for creatives - artists get clean portfolio showcases, direct collaboration tools, and project management, while media professionals get advanced search filters, direct messaging, and budget management. The biggest surprise? Artists aren't just wanting exposure, they want structured professional collaboration and repeat client relationships, while media people need reliable creative partners, not just pretty pictures. After interviewing 50+ creatives and finding 78% struggle with discovery, I realized the creative economy is massive but most platforms treat artists like hobbyists instead of the business professionals they actually are.
