Builders don’t need more noise. They need leverage. Every day, talented builders ship real things into the world—apps, tools, agencies, micro-SaaS products, services, experiments. Most of them never get seen. Not because they aren’t good, but because distribution, hiring, and discovery are broken for early builders. That’s why Builders.to exists. Builders.to is a simple marketplace and launchpad for people who are actively building. No vanity metrics. No hype cycles. No “influencer-first” dynamics. Just a place to list what you’re working on, what you need, or what you offer—and get it in front of the right audience. If you’re building, this is for you. ⸻ What Builders.to is (and is not) Builders.to is not another social network. It’s not a link-in-bio tool. It’s not a noisy job board flooded with recruiters and spam. Builders.to is a focused surface area for three core actions: • List jobs you need help filling • Offer services you’re actively selling • Sell projects or businesses you’ve already built That’s it. Each listing costs $5. Not to extract value—but to enforce signal. A small price filters out spam, abandoned ideas, and low-effort posts. What remains is intent. ⸻ Why this matters right now We’re in an era where: • AI has dramatically lowered the cost of building • Distribution has become the real bottleneck • Talented builders are competing with noise, not skill • Traditional platforms optimize for engagement, not outcomes Builders.to optimizes for action. When someone posts on Builders.to, they are saying: “I am building something real, and I want progress—not likes.” That alignment is the entire point. ⸻ Who should post on Builders.to? You should post if you are: • A founder looking for a frontend, backend, or growth collaborator • A developer offering contract or fractional work • A designer selling branding, UX, or product services • An agency looking for early clients • A solo builder selling a micro-SaaS, Chrome extension, or side project • A startup testing demand before doubling down • Someone exiting a small business and looking for the right buyer If you are building in public—or quietly building something valuable—Builders.to gives you a clean place to be discovered. ⸻ Why charge at all? Free platforms optimize for volume. Paid platforms can optimize for quality. $5 is intentional: • Low enough to be accessible • High enough to require intent • Simple enough to avoid complexity No subscriptions. No dark patterns. No algorithmic games. Post → be seen → move forward. ⸻ The long-term vision Builders.to is part of a broader effort to rebuild the internet around builders, not spectators. Over time, this marketplace will evolve into: • A trusted signal layer for early projects • A discovery engine for underrated builders • A lightweight alternative to bloated job boards • A place where progress compounds But the foundation stays the same: clarity, focus, and respect for builders’ time. ⸻ If you’re building something… Don’t wait for permission. Don’t wait for polish. Don’t wait for a “big launch.” List it. Share it. Sell it. Hire for it. Builders.to exists so momentum doesn’t die in drafts, DMs, or half-finished Notion docs. If you’re building, you belong here.
