Hi Product Hunters! Juho here, CEO & co-founder of Sharetribe. Nine years ago, we launched our first product here on Product Hunt (hunted by @marckohlbrugge !) Back then, we advertised it as “the easiest way to start a marketplace business”. We’re still the easiest way to start, but… Even though “starting is half the battle”, it is still only half. Now, we are also the best at the other half: extending and scaling your marketplace business. With the new Sharetribe, you can now: 🚀 Launch a fully functional marketplace in one day, without coding Start at 90% done with all the essential marketplace features your business needs from day one. You only need to customize the look and feel –- without any coding. If needed, you can add hundreds of third-party services through Zapier. ⚙️ Extend your no-code platform infinitely with custom code Your platform is built on top of our headless marketplace solution. You can take full control of your user experience and design, build a mobile app, and create your ideal transaction flow. Anything you want. 📈 Scale your business to any size without worrying about infrastructure or performance Whether you have ten or a million users, you can easily manage them with world-class marketplace management tools from day one. Our hosted cloud infrastructure will maintain your marketplace backend at any scale. No need to worry about traffic spikes, performance, data security, or compliance. Focus on building your business instead. I’d love for you to check it out! I know that many of you have probably had an Airbnb/Uber for X type of idea? → Let’s hear it! 👇 Also, feel free to drop any questions you might have! We’ll be ready to honestly answer anything you throw at us and appreciate all the feedback we can get. Juho

@marckohlbrugge @kusti hi there, first congratulation on the launching new release. may i know if sharetribe offer like fiver/upwork out of the box?
Juho Makkonen
@ahmad_eusof thanks a lot! It is possible to build a site a lot like Fiverr with Sharetribe, no coding needed. Upwork has a "reverse marketplace" flow, which you can achieve partially without coding with Sharetribe, but for the full experience, you might want to customize your marketplace a bit with code, like this Upwork-like customer of ours has done: https://softwaresupp.com/jobs

@saad_malik18 thanks, I appreciate the kind words!
Juho Makkonen
@mohammed_mustafa_jafer a great question! There are loads of those concepts where I totally didn't realize that a market for that thing existed. For example: - A marketplace connecting farms to relief milkers (a relief milker, apparently, is a thing) - A marketplace helping sales people from big companies to book meetings with influential business leaders in exchange for a charitable donation - A marketplace helping people become better at playing Pokemon Go - A marketplace where you could hire someone in a different city to give you a virtual "tour" in a place of your choice through their mobile phone. One of those COVID-inspired ideas... This is why I'm so bullish about marketplaces: there are so many untapped business opportunities out there when you start looking at the world through this lense!

@marckohlbrugge @kusti congratulations on the launch! As an early supporter, I'm excited to see Sharetribe's progress. Best of luck! P.S. I loved the video! 🚀

I built the MVP of my startup on the old version of Sharetribe (Sharetribe GO). With GO I grew the business to 100+ users, and attracted an investor. I’ve been working on an improved experience with this new version of Sharetribe and it’s looking incredible. I highly recommend Sharetribe to anyone looking to start or grow their marketplace. It stands out from anything else I’ve seen because it has an easy to use no-code editor but also has a powerful developer package that can help achieve near unlimited customizations. Lots of respect for this product.

@thevoyager3 Joseph! Thanks for supporting us here 🙏! We've been loving your journey with Outmost so far! Still siked that you got to pitch to Jason C! Can't wait to see the next version! Sky's the limit!
Juho Makkonen
@thevoyager3 I appreciate the kind words! I really love what you're doing with Outmost, it's an awesome concept. I hope we'll be able to help you take it to the next level!
Joseph Homsy
@kusti thank you. The new version of Outmost on Sharetribe is impressive. You’ve built a great team and product!
Vishal Jagetia
Great work as usual, I have been a great fan of Sharetribe since it's inception. I built many marketplaces using Sharetribe open source version for my clients and even started my own marketplace as well. It was an awesome journey so far and I wish you all the best and happy for you.
Juho Makkonen
@vishaljagetia thank you so much, and all the best for your marketplace!
Sjoerd Handgraaf
@vishaljagetia Thanks Vishal! Always love seeing people who have been on our journey with us since the beginning!
Matic Jesenovec
Been following your journey for a decade now. Well done guys, it looks great! :)
Sjoerd Handgraaf
@maticj Thanks for sticking with us! The best is yet to come!
Abhilash Chowdhary
Going to give this a try, team Sharetribe. Looks interesting.
Sjoerd Handgraaf
@abhilash_chowdhary Thanks! Happy to hear what you think!
Dale Reardon
Hi - Is there any special pricing offer for this Product Hunt launch? I hope to have a platform launch soon. Thanks, Dale.
Juho Makkonen
@dalereardon no special offer this time. In general we don't usually do those, as we prefer to offer the same transparent pricing to everyone. I'm looking forward to seeing your platform live!
Balázs Slezák
Amazing product! Go Sharetribe team!
Juho Makkonen
@balazsslezak thanks a lot!
Boris B. Manzhela
Hello! Awesome product so far. I'm looking for a no-code solution to create an MVP of SaaS with a custom business logic inside: different subscriptions with different options, integration and merging results from different LLMs, setup of recurring payments on a monthly and yearly basis. Is it possible?
Sjoerd Handgraaf
@borismanzhela That sounds like an intriguing idea! Integrating subscription logic & any third party is essentially not a problem, but...Sharetribe is meant for building two-sided platforms/online marketplaces, best known as the Airbnb/Uber/Etsy for X model. Does your business idea have that component? I couldn't make that out from your description.
Leah Gibbs
I have been a fan of Sharetribe since its inception; now, to come up with the next big idea?? Congrats on the launch
Huge congrats!
Sjoerd Handgraaf
@slimmy82 Thank you! 🙏 Very much appreciated! Wishing you the best for your launch!
Rafael Harutyunyan
Sharetribe put me on my entrepreneurship journey and with them I opened my first startup! Good luck with your platform and happy to see you alive and blooming for so many years!
Sjoerd Handgraaf
@rafhar Awesome! Thanks for the support! Do you mind sharing what you built with us back then?
Josh Walker
I'm building my startup on Shartribe right now. It's been about a year and a half in the making and I couldn't be happier with the software, support, and knowledge base. I did extensive research before choosing them and they just keep getting better. Sharetribe to the top!
Sjoerd Handgraaf
@josh_walker Incredibly happy to hear that! I'll pass this all on to the team! Sky's the limit, also for your startup!
Ishwar Jha
i have been using Sharetribe for a while and eagerly waiting for it's current release. Whenever I connected with the Sharetribe team they said to wait for the new version. I am hopeful that the new version stands out on all the promises and helps extend features and customisation as explained here. Good luck with the launch!
Juho Makkonen
@ishwarjha I'm happy that we're finally delivering what you've been waiting for!
Sjoerd Handgraaf
@ishwarjha Thanks @ishwarjha ! I hope so too! We've been careful not to overpromise, but we're obviously also really in love with our own product 😄
Nate Lewis
Awesome execution!
Germán Merlo
It's like a dream come true for those of us who are more creatively inclined than tech-savvy. Well done, @kusti, it's clear that your genius knows no bounds. Keep up the brilliant work!
Juho Makkonen
@german_merlo1 I'm humbled by your praise, thank you so much!
Katt Risen
Congrats on the launch. I would love to learn about any profitable businesses built on Sharetribe?
Sjoerd Handgraaf
@kattrisen Thanks! And excellent question! We have several founder success stories here (https://www.sharetribe.com/custo...) most of which feature founders who are profitable and/or have received millions in VC investments. And there are many more founders that we assume are profitable (based on what we can see from their activity), but this is not something that we can track unless founders share it with us (we don't know their operation costs of course). However, of course, marketplaces are tough businesses, perhaps the toughest out there, so the majority of our customers probably isn't yet profitable. But what we can promise is that you will find out if your idea can be successful without wasting tens of thousands of dollars or years of your time.
Mark DelVille
Looking forward to trying the new version. Been a while since I visited my original idea I spoke with Juho about what seems like a lifetime ago. If I am correct with assessing this current version, I can connect my Sharetribe marketplace to almost any API?
Sjoerd Handgraaf
@mark_delville Hi Mark! Thanks for your comment! Correct! Through our developer platform you can plug in any API. How much work that is depends mostly on your own coding skills and the other API, of course! Which one would you like to connect to?
Juho Makkonen
@mark_delville it's been a while indeed! Keep us posted when you're exploring the new Sharetribe, we'd love to learn how it works for you.
Mark DelVille
@sjoerdhandgraaf Thank you for that confirmation! I would like to follow up with some API questions but I would be required to take those offline. Perhaps you could help with one question I have. What types of revenue models can I implement with a "rental style marketplace" For example, can I charge montly subscription fees for vendors, transaction fees for successful transactions, and premium listing fees for enhanced visibility? Any or all of these models doable?
Sjoerd Handgraaf
@mark_delville Understood! I suggest contacting our support directly at help@sharetribe.com. Our customer success team speak to hundreds of founders every week, and they know exactly (in most cases) what is possible. Or at least, much better than me, the marketing guy! Regarding the monetization question: I've heard them all separately done, but not sure about the combination! I'll pull in some more info, and get back to you!
Juho Makkonen
@mark_delville sounds good, just shoot an email to hello@sharetribe.com or create a free Sharetribe account and use the messaging widget to continue the conversation. Regarding the question you asked: we have an out of the box implementation for taking a transaction fee. In addition, there's a no-code way to charge a monthly subscription fee, though some manual steps are required https://www.sharetribe.com/help/... For featured listings, some coding on top of our developer platform is required to make that work, but it's definitely doable too.
Krzysztof Gardocki
I've had the pleasure of utilizing Sharetribe for my marketplace needs and I must say, it's an absolute game-changer. The platform is not only user-friendly but also incredibly versatile, making it perfect for both beginners and experienced developers. What impresses me the most is the seamless integration of essential features and the platform's intuitive design, which significantly reduces the time and effort required to launch a marketplace. I've personally built 4 marketplaces on top of Sharetribe, catering to both large companies and startups. Impressively, all of these platforms are still operational and thriving, a testament to the reliability and effectiveness of Sharetribe. Great job!
Sjoerd Handgraaf
@krzysztof_gardocki Thanks for trusting us with your business again and again! Very happy to read this! I'll be sure to pass on these nice words to the team! 🙏
Garen Orchyan
Looks great, congratulations on the launch and best of luck 🎉🔥
Sjoerd Handgraaf
@orchyan Thanks! It's been in the works for a while, so very happy to finally get this out there!
Johan Steneros
I used Sharetribe many years ago for a project. After researching loads of marketplace solutions, I found them to be the best, most flexible solution. Happy to see they are continuing to innovate and improve their solutions.
Sjoerd Handgraaf
@jsteneros Thanks @jsteneros ! It's a tough product to make, but we'll try to keep making it better!
