Marketplace launch — Bishkek
Two-sided marketplace for a regional commerce category — supply onboarding, demand acquisition, escrow, and trust & safety from day one.
— problem
The blocker
A funded founder with a clear thesis but no senior tech team. Marketplaces in this category had failed twice before — once on supply-side fraud, once on payments reconciliation. The third attempt could not afford the same mistakes.
— solution
What we built
- Supply onboarding flow with two-factor KYC and risk scoring.
- Demand-side acquisition funnel with attribution and post-payment refund flow.
- Escrow ledger reconciled against Finik acquiring callbacks, audited daily.
- Trust & safety playbook + moderation tooling sized for the first 12 months of operations.
Outcome
Live in 8 weeks. 420 suppliers onboarded in the first quarter. Chargeback rate under 0.4% — well below category average. HASL handed over to a hired team at the start of month four.
