Why Manchester is the
Perfect Launchpad

Why Marketplace MVPs Fail
And How To Avoid It

We've seen dozens of founders in marketplace make these mistakes.

Building features before liquidity

Spending months on advanced search when you have 10 listings.

Our SolutionYour MVP should help you manually onboard and retain your first 100 users on each side. Features come after liquidity.

Trying to automate everything

Building complex matching algorithms for a marketplace with no transactions.

Our SolutionDo things that don't scale. Manually match buyers and sellers. Learn what makes a good match, then automate.

Payment complexity paralysis

Over-engineering escrow and split payments.

Our SolutionStripe Connect handles 90% of marketplace payment needs. Use it. Custom payment flows are a Series B problem.

Scope Management
