Marketplaces
Two sides, and the liquidity between them.
The engineering in a marketplace is search, taxonomy, media and moderation. The actual problem is liquidity: an empty marketplace has no users, and users are what fill a marketplace. Every marketplace launch is a plan for solving that, and it is usually a supply plan.
We have built five, and solved the cold-start each time with automated ingestion rather than a sales team — pipelines that read public listings out of Telegram and WhatsApp groups, extract structure from unstructured Arabic, deduplicate and publish.
What we build here
- Category taxonomy and structured attributes per vertical
- Search, filtering and ranking that survives real catalogue size
- Seller profiles, messaging and dispute paths
- Moderation queues and automated abuse detection
- Supply acquisition and cold-start strategy
