On-Demand & Marketplace GTM
Marketplace Launch, Supply Acquisition & Unit Economics
On-demand and marketplace platforms face a simultaneous chicken-and-egg problem: you need supply to attract demand, and demand to attract supply. We design two-sided GTM programmes that solve liquidity first, then build the unit economics, retention mechanics, and growth loops that make on-demand businesses viable at scale.

What We Deliver
Concrete GTM outputs tailored to the realities of your industry — not generic frameworks.
Supply-Side Acquisition Playbook
Service provider, driver, or vendor ICP; structured onboarding funnel; incentive and subsidy design; activation cadence to reach minimum viable supply density in first market
Demand Generation Plan
Consumer ICP, channel strategy, launch offer design, first-order conversion flow, and demand seeding tactics for building traction in the first market before scaling ad spend
Unit Economics & Pricing Model
Take rate and GMV modelling, CAC vs LTV framework, subsidy burn rate tracking, and path-to-contribution-margin model per city, category, or cohort
Marketplace Launch Playbook
City or category launch sequencing — supply density threshold, demand seeding tactics, launch press strategy, corporate pilot design, and first-week KPI targets
Ops Analytics & KPI Dashboard
Supply utilisation, fulfillment rate, NPS, take rate, and unit economics dashboard built in Metabase, Looker, or Google Looker Studio for daily ops monitoring
Growth Loop Design
Referral programme for both supply and demand sides, repeat-use triggers, review loop mechanics, and supply-side retention incentives that compound marketplace growth without linear ad increases
The Commercial Difference
Liquidity-first launch prevents the common failure
Most marketplace failures stem from broad launches with inadequate density. We design minimum viable density thresholds per geography and sequence supply activation before demand spend — avoiding the high-demand, poor-fulfilment trap
Balanced marketplace lowers subsidy costs by 40–60%
A well-matched marketplace where supply is never over-saturated and demand is never unmet operates with significantly lower subsidies than an imbalanced one — directly affecting cash burn and runway
Predictable unit economics from month 3
With a structured CAC/LTV framework and pricing model built from day one, most clients have a visible path to positive contribution margin within 3–6 months of first market launch
Ops excellence drives retention better than incentives
In on-demand, the product is the ops experience. A 95%+ fulfillment rate at consistent quality creates the repeat purchase rate that makes marketplaces sustainable — and is cheaper to maintain than reacquisition
