Our Expertise
Sharetribe specialists since 2018
As a certified Sharetribe partner agency, we specialize in building powerful marketplaces using Sharetribe's developer platform, leveraging React, Node.js and Sharetribe's APIs to provide flexible, customizable solutions.
Beyond development, we're skilled designers who work with industry-standard tools like Figma and Framer to create beautiful, user-friendly interfaces. This design-first approach ensures each marketplace not only functions flawlessly but also provides an exceptional user experience.
We take pride in our track record, with our marketplaces processing over $5,000,000 in payments to date.
8+ years of Sharetribe expertise
As a Sharetribe expert agency with over 8 years of experience, we've been building marketplaces since the early days of Sharetribe Flex (now known as just Sharetribe), which launched in 2018.
We were early adopters who recognized the power of Sharetribe's flexible platform. As it evolved, we grew alongside it, developing deep expertise in creating powerful, scalable marketplace solutions.
Our team has mastered the art of customizing Sharetribe to meet unique business requirements, ensuring that each marketplace we build stands out in its industry.
Since the beginning
We have been building on Sharetribe as long as Sharetribe has been buildable
Among the first partner agencies when Flex launched, and still shipping on every version since. Here is the short version.
- 2018
Sharetribe Flex launches. So do we, as a vetted Sharetribe Expert.
We ship our first client marketplaces on Flex in its launch year, when the developer docs were still being written, and Sharetribe vets us as an official Expert from the start. Deep platform expertise begins here.
- 2019 to 2020
GO to Flex migrations
Marketplaces on the older Sharetribe GO product outgrow it. We become one of the go-to teams for moving them to Flex without losing users, listings, or momentum.
- 2021 to 2022
Vertical depth: rentals, services, resale
Deposits and calendars for rentals, booking and custom offers for services, seller onboarding and shipping for resale. Patterns we now reuse across projects.
- 2023
Sharetribe unifies. We keep going.
GO and Flex merge into today's Sharetribe with a no-code tier. We help founders choose between no-code and self-hosted, and start migrating the ones who outgrow no-code.
- 2024 to 2025
Bigger builds, deeper integrations
Zero-downtime no-code to self-hosted migrations, Stripe Identity, custom refund flows, and full product design on top of the platform.
- 2026
AI listings, custom admin panels, national shipping
AI-powered listing creation, purpose-built admin panels, Posten and EasyPost end-to-end, dual dashboards. Fifty-plus marketplaces in, still learning the platform every week.
