Launch your marketplace in 60 days
For founders with an idea and validation — so your platform is live before you have to start raising money.
Sound familiar?
You have a platform idea. The hard part isn't the idea — it's building it without burning six months.
SaaS marketplace tools (Sharetribe, Arcadier) are expensive, generic, and you outgrow them the moment you get real traction.
An agency quote for a custom MVP is €50k+ and takes 6 months. By then your momentum is gone.
Building an MVP yourself costs you 6 months of full-time focus you'd better spend on validation and sales.
You don't really know if your idea works until it's live — and the longer you wait, the bigger the risk.
Vyrtex builds your marketplace MVP — production-ready in 60 days.
MVP in 60 days, production-ready
Not a proof-of-concept that falls over at 100 users. A real platform, built to scale — from day one.
Two-sided payments + commissions
Stripe Connect built in: providers verified, customers paying, your commission deducted automatically. No manual payouts.
Ranking, search & reviews built in
The features that actually distinguish marketplaces: smart search, ranking algorithm, and reviews for both sides of the market.
What's actually included?
A complete MVP — not half of one. Everything you need to go live and accept payments today.
Provider onboarding flow with identity verification
Customer search + filter UX (Airbnb-style)
Stripe Connect: payments + payouts + automatic commission
Reviews system (both sides — demand and supply)
Admin dashboard for you (moderate, refunds, analytics)
Email automations: matching, reminder, payment, dispute
Mobile-responsive (no separate app needed for MVP)
Scalable architecture: Next.js 15 + Postgres + Vercel
SEO foundation: server-rendered pages, sitemap, schema
Notifications (in-app + email)
GDPR-compliant data handling
1 month of free support after launch
Hosting included for the first 3 months
From 0 to live in 60 days
Discovery & UX design
Deep dive into your market, mapping both user types, wireframes and a clickable prototype. By the end of week 2 everyone knows exactly what we'll build.
Build core marketplace
Provider onboarding, listings, search/filter, customer flow, and the first version of Stripe Connect. Weekly staging updates so you can follow along live.
Build trust layer + admin
Reviews system, dispute flows, admin dashboard, automations and notifications. The features that make the difference between 'cool' and 'actually usable'.
Soft launch + polish + go-live
Closed beta with your first 20 providers, feedback rounds, performance optimization and SEO check. Then public launch with live support during the first 2 weeks.
Production-ready MVP for less than an agency PoC
Full MVP with everything from the checklist above. Fixed price, fixed deadline, no scope creep without an upfront conversation.
Optional retainer
€1,250/moHosting + support + 10 hours of development per month + escrow support and dispute-handling assistance.
Equity option
−5%5% off the build in exchange for 1% equity — only available if you're going for institutional investment. Ask about it.
For comparison: a Sharetribe license is €99-299/mo + transaction fees, and you're locked into their feature set. Here you get your own platform that you 100% own.
Questions other people asked too
That's why we recommend validating with landing pages, interviews and waitlist signups before this kind of investment. During the free intro we help you assess that — and if we think you're not ready for an MVP yet, we'll say so honestly.
