When we started this journey, we took a leap of faith. We said “Bye Felicia” to the security of our successful careers for a chance to use our powers for good.
Instead of following the herd’s profit-driven goals, we decided our life force was best spent inspiring action that nurtures the human spirit with newer & richer experiences—it’s as much a personal journey as it is a social cause.
But we never thought . . .
“Hey, I’ve got an idea. Let’s build a community marketplace!” 💡
Nope. We just wanted to help market our friends and other like-hearted entrepreneurs who offer weird & wonderful opportunities for enriching experiences. So, we started building a website where our people could leverage our marketing expertise and analytical insights to grow.
But we faced impassable walls with booking, algorithms, and UX design.
That’s when it hit us—there has to be a better way for creators to grow their sales, people to find their unique ideas, and key: experience them.

We just had to build it! So, we did. Admittedly, it’s taking a whole hell of lot longer to get to market than anticipated. But that’s tech for ya!
And after more than a decade in tech & startups, we should’ve known better that there would be unforeseen obstacles, hiccups, challenges, and setbacks.
That’s all okay. The problem we need to fix is our communication.
Please forgive us.
It’s important to us that you feel included as you are building this space, too.
We also understand that a successful partnership requires excellent communication, transparency, integrity, and a foundation built on trust.
That’s why we now record our progress on our public Change Log.
And going forward, we will also peel our nose from the grindstone to send more consistent communication that’s both meaningful and valuable to you.
So, when will the marketplace open!?
Thanks for asking the question on everybody’s mind 😜
After the “release of Booking” (said with quotes because it wasn’t ready), we had to revamp several legacy features (i.e. Order Management, My Bookings, Partner Payouts) and advance others (i.e. Ticketing, Booking Settings, Booking Calendar) in our ecosystem.
So, though we wish the platform was ready to boost your online sales right now . . . we’re close, but not quite there yet.
Keyword: YET! But here’s the thing—we need your help—a marketplace is only as great as its constituent parts.
