With Sharetribe you can build a fully functional marketplace platform in just a day—no coding needed.
Infinitely extensible via APIs and custom code for bespoke features.
Perfect for early‑stage validation without a technical co‑founder.
Juho Makkonen has built Sharetribe into a platform with over 1,400 shared market places run by entrepreneurs, who have not had to learn coding nor how to deal with the people who code [sounds like heaven!]
Raphaëlle Fardin (de Monteynard) built Swimmy which enables people to rent private pools in France and Spain. [wish I'd know about this when my kids were younger 💦
@Gaurav Singal and Dirk-Jan ter Horst built Drive lah in Singapore into the largest shared mobility marketplace in Asia Pacific.
There is a 14 day free trial...and you'll also be surprised at the lesson Juho learnt about offering extended free trials...
