By marketplace do you mean buying and selling side projects? From the launch page it appears it's more like a directory than a marketplace - is that correct?

Either way, this is a classic chicken or the egg problem. Your website will only be useable for developers if their target market is browsing the site. It will only be useable for target markets if projects they are interested in are populated on the site.

The problem is target markets are extremely broad among startups. Some are enterprise, some are consumer, etc. I think you should focus on one use-case (so it is clear who should list their project as well as who should look for projects) and then expand from there.

The target is not to buy or sell side projects, it's to show your work to the world. A sort of "Show HN" but searchable and only dedicated to side projects. So it's a kind of a directory ;-) There should also be an option to let the readers know if someone searching for help. Use-case: Someone is a good developer and has programmed an nice app. Because he/she is not a designer the app has a poorly UX. Then he can tells inside the post on Kilaluu that he is searching a designer - someone who is passionated and want to join this side project.

I like the idea of focusing on one use-case, one niche.

Thx for your help :-)
