From first launch to ongoing upgrades — our full-service digital company builds marketplaces that scale, support your vendors, and drive real transactions.
Launch a marketplace from scratch?
Built from core logic to a live product — ready to sale.
Vendors signing up but not selling?
Stronger vendor tools, better flow, real traction.
Payments, shipping, and ops not syncing?
Payments, delivery, and vendor ops — fully connected.
Looking for long-term support, not just a build?
We're here post-launch — not just for handoff.
We scope each build individually — based on your platform type, flows, integrations,
and scale.
We didn't want a cookie-cutter solution, and Toimi understood that right away. They came back with ideas tailored exactly to our needs — creative, practical, and easy to scale.
Strong technical skills, but also patient in explaining things so everyone could follow. That balance made the whole process smooth.
Quick turnaround, clean work, good communication. Would recommend.
Working with Toimi felt straightforward and stress-free.

Burbank's entertainment industry economy creates distinctive marketplace opportunities: talent marketplaces (actors, voice actors, crew, animators), post-production and VFX service marketplaces, entertainment industry equipment rental marketplaces, merchandise and licensing marketplaces, creator economy platforms. Our Burbank marketplace work spans these entertainment-industry-specific categories alongside traditional marketplace categories.
Trust is foundational for marketplaces — particularly in Burbank's entertainment industry where reputation and past work matter enormously. Our Burbank marketplace platforms include verified identity workflows, transparent rating and review systems, portfolio verification (IMDb integration where appropriate), dispute resolution tooling, escrow payment holds, and fraud detection integrated with Sift or Persona.
We build on Stripe Connect for most Burbank projects, with Adyen MarketPay as alternative. Our payment architecture handles split payments, automated vendor payouts, tax calculation (California sales tax complexity), 1099 reporting (critical for entertainment industry independent contractors), and currency conversion. For entertainment industry marketplaces handling union/guild requirements (SAG-AFTRA, WGA, DGA compliance), we integrate specialized payment and reporting requirements.
Marketplaces face unique scaling challenges. We architect Burbank marketplaces on scalable cloud foundations (AWS, GCP), with read-replica databases, Redis caching, queue-based background processing, and event-driven messaging patterns. Our marketplace code patterns assume 10x growth from day one.
Yes — most successful Burbank marketplaces require mobile experiences. We build native mobile apps using React Native or Swift/Kotlin, or responsive PWAs. For entertainment industry marketplaces where professionals work across multiple productions and locations, mobile-first is essential.
Search quality determines marketplace success. We implement Elasticsearch or Algolia for Burbank marketplace search. For entertainment industry marketplaces, search must handle specialized attributes: skills, union status, project credits, location availability, rate ranges, and industry categories.
Marketplaces face complex legal exposure — Terms of Service enforcement, DMCA takedown processes, FTC compliance for reviews and testimonials, CCPA data subject request flows, California-specific marketplace facilitator tax requirements. For entertainment industry marketplaces, additional considerations include union compliance, intellectual property handling, and right-to-work verification.
Marketplace MVPs typically run 12–20 weeks for Burbank clients. Our phased approach starts with single-vertical MVP before expanding. Investment ranges based on scope — focused vertical marketplaces start at $150K–$250K; enterprise B2B marketplaces with complex integrations run $400K+.
