- What information do I need to apply?
- Your name and email, a short description of your marketplace including approximate GMV, number of suppliers or listings, bookings per month, and locations served, your biggest current challenge, and whether you are looking for retainer advisory, a specific project, or are not sure yet.
- What are the engagement options?
- Retainer advisory is an ongoing monthly engagement with a minimum of 3 months, including weekly or biweekly working sessions, async Slack access, strategic reviews and audits, and introductions from Bryan’s network. Project-based work has fixed scope and timeline with clear deliverables upfront, designed to be handed off to your team.
- How quickly will I hear back after applying?
- Bryan follows up within 2 business days if your marketplace looks like a good fit. He takes on a limited number of clients at a time, so response speed can vary with availability.
- Is my marketplace the right fit for advisory?
- The best fit is a marketplace founder between $1M and $30M GMV working through challenges in growth and acquisition, SEO and organic, product and operations, supply quality and fraud, or team and hiring. If you are earlier than $1M GMV, the blog at The Flywheel covers many of the same frameworks.
