Prompt to Marketplace: From idea to launch in 1 hour
Here's my story and why I built Prometora to help non-technical founders launch marketplaces in under 1 hour
Hi, I'm Rasmus, building Prometora 👋
I've built multiple marketplaces over the past few years, including a marketplace for Moomin mugs, a platform for co-working spaces, and a marketplace for buying and selling stars.
As a technical founder, I've been able to build these marketplaces myself. In fact, I've created Speed Build Marketplace, a marketplace boilerplate that helps developers launch marketplaces faster. I also teach developers how to build marketplaces with AI in my marketplace development course.
What I've Seen Non-Technical Founders Struggle With
But here's what I've observed: non-technical marketplace founders need something different. They want more structure and guidance. Even with amazing AI tools like Cursor, there's still a steep learning curve.
Every non-technical founder I've talked to faces the same roadblocks:
- Weeks spent on technical setup - Finding developers, configuring hosting, databases
- Months integrating payments - Wrestling with Stripe Connect for multi-vendor payments
- Coding knowledge required - Can't make simple changes without a developer
- Expensive developers needed - $10,000+ just to get a basic marketplace running
- Lost momentum - By the time everything was ready, competitors might have already launched
Why I'm Building Prometora
I realized that every non-technical entrepreneur faces these exact same problems. You shouldn't need to know how to code or hire expensive developers just to test your marketplace idea.
That's when I decided to build Prometora. A platform where non-technical founders can:
- 🚀 Prompt to Marketplace - Describe your marketplace idea, and it's built instantly - no coding required
- 💳 Multi-Vendor Payments - Stripe Connect fully integrated - handles vendor payouts automatically
- 📊 Drag & Drop Builder - Design your marketplace visually with drag and drop - no coding needed
- 🤝 Zero Technical Skills - If you can write an email, you can launch a marketplace
The Vision
Any non-technical founder should be able to prompt their own marketplace in less than 1 hour— fully functional with multi-vendor payments, analytics, and customer management built-in.
Prometora is built to be the fastest path from marketplace idea to launch for non-technical founders. No coding skills needed. No expensive developers. No technical headaches. Just describe your marketplace vision, and start onboarding vendors.
