Talent Marketplace for Models and Agencies
This platform connects models, actors, agencies, casting professionals, and employers in one place. It enables talent to build professional portfolios, find relevant opportunities, and apply directly through the platform. Agencies and employers can search for suitable talent, post opportunities, and manage hiring workflows more efficiently. We took over the project after an unsuccessful two-year development effort and transformed an unusable MVP into a stable, scalable live product.

The Problem
The founder had invested nearly two years and approximately $120,000 in an MVP that was not ready for launch. The existing platform was unstable, difficult to maintain, and lacked the technical foundation needed for customer acquisition or future growth. Along with addressing serious technical challenges, we had to rebuild the founder’s confidence through clear planning, transparent communication, and dependable execution.
The existing MVP crashed frequently and could not deliver a reliable experience to users.
The codebase was poorly structured, difficult to maintain, and delivered without proper documentation.
The platform lacked the scalability required to support a growing number of talent, agencies, and opportunities.
The founder needed a practical recovery plan after nearly two years of delays and failed delivery.
Models and actors lacked one reliable place to showcase portfolios and access relevant opportunities.
Agencies struggled to find and connect with talent matching their specific project requirements.
Our Approach
We started with a complete audit of the existing application to understand the code quality, technical risks, and recovery effort required. We then created a phased development plan focused on building a stable foundation and launching the most valuable features first. Throughout the engagement, we worked closely with the founder to provide clarity, restore trust, and make confident product decisions.
We audited the inherited codebase and created a realistic recovery roadmap for the platform.
We rebuilt the platform using a scalable architecture and maintainable development standards.
We developed professional profile and portfolio tools for talent to showcase their work.
We built advanced search and filtering tools for agencies to find talent by project requirements.
We created job posting, application, messaging, and notification workflows for smoother hiring.
We provided continuous product development, technical support, and feature improvements for five years after launch.
