From idea to first transactions — without code
Here's my story and why I built Prometora to help non-technical founders launch and scale marketplaces - fast
Hi, I'm Rasmus, the founder of Prometora 👋
Over the past few years, I've built multiple marketplaces — 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 was able to build these products myself. I even created Speed Build Marketplace, a marketplace boilerplate that helps developers launch faster, and I teach developers how to build marketplaces using AI.
But along the way, I noticed something important.
What non-technical founders struggle with
Non-technical marketplace founders don't need more tools.
They need structure, guidance, and momentum.
Even with powerful AI tools, launching a real marketplace is still hard if you're not technical.
Almost every non-technical founder I've spoken with runs into the same problems:
- Weeks lost setting up hosting, databases, and environments
- Months struggling with multi-vendor payments and Stripe Connect
- Inability to make simple changes without a developer
- $10,000+ spent just to get something live
- Lost momentum while competitors move faster
By the time the marketplace is "ready," the opportunity window is often gone.
Why I'm building Prometora
I realized this problem isn't about effort or ideas — it's about unnecessary complexity.
You shouldn't need to learn how to code or hire expensive developers just to validate a marketplace idea or get your first real transactions.
That's why I'm building Prometora.
Prometora is a marketplace platform designed specifically for non-technical founders who want to move fast without cutting corners.
With Prometora, you can:
🚀 Prompt your marketplace or choose a template
Describe your idea and let AI generate it, or pick from proven templates like Product, Service, Rental, or General marketplaces.
💳 Launch with real multi-vendor payments
Stripe Connect is built in, handling payouts, fees, and transactions automatically.
🧭 Follow a guided path
Prometora helps you validate your marketplace before going live, not just "build and hope."
📈 Scale after launch
Built-in analytics, vendor management, and operational tools help you grow once real transactions start.
No coding. No agencies. No technical debt from day one.
The Prometora vision
Any non-technical founder should be able to build, launch, and scale a real marketplace — and have a clear path to their first transactions.
Prometora isn't just about getting something online.
It's about:
- Launching with confidence
- Avoiding common marketplace mistakes
- Reaching real buyers and sellers faster
- Building something that can actually grow
Built for momentum, not flexibility
Prometora intentionally removes unnecessary choices and complexity.
It's opinionated by design — because momentum matters more than endless configuration.
If you want a highly custom framework, Prometora isn't the right tool.
If you want the fastest, most reliable path from idea to a real marketplace, Prometora is built for you.
