We are very excited to launch maarket.ai 🚀

By Kabandi

Hey everyone, I am very excited to launch maarket.ai. Let’s start with your obvious questions. What is Maarket and Why have we built this platform?

What is maarket?

Maarket is a distribution platform.

Why do you need maarket?

Building a product has never been easier.

But, getting people to discover it? Ridiculously harder than ever.

I’ve felt this firsthand as a founder, and now as a growth consultant working with early-stage PLG teams.

Earlier this year, I found myself going back to building products from scratch. And it reminded me: distribution is still the most challenging problem for startups.

You can build a great product and still struggle to get your first 10, 100, or 1,000 customers. And that got me thinking- there should be more channels and platforms to help a product go from 0 → 1.

And that got us to build maarket.ai.

So, what is maarket again?

Maarket is a place where people discover what teams are actually using and make better product buying decisions. Our job at maarket is to get your product seen by buyers looking for a product in your space.

In short, market is a distribution platform for products. We are launching with our first offering- a directory!

Yes, a directory.

A place where buyers discover what teams are actually using—and founders get their products in front of relevant buyers. The directory is powered by rankings which are powered by real signals.

Maarket is run on a unique rankings system where you can list your product and earn Karma Points based on real signals.

Have an MCP? +5 points. Someone marked that they use your product? +3 points. And so on.

The more Karma you earn, the higher you climb the rankings. We want the ranking to be more than just a number. We want it to be a signal of what people are actually using.

Why does maarket need to exist?

Well, more than 100 products launch on Product Hunt every day. Only a handful get featured, and only a few get meaningful attention.

Sometimes, it honestly just comes down to how that particular day plays out.

G2 can be expensive. Then there are bidding platforms like outbid, works great provided you have the budget to pay for them.

TBH, Maarket is what G2 could not be — a platform driven by real users that helps products get discovered. And we're not just your launch companion like Product Hunt. As long as you keep driving your ranking, you'll continue to get discovered.

But we think there should be more options, more platforms and more channels to help products get traction. At maarket, our North Star is simple: help buyers connect with the right products.

We’re doing product marketing at scale. Let’s just put it that way.

And finally, who’s “we”?

Well, my name is Kabandi.

Until very recently, I was known as Kabandi from Omnify, where I was the co-founder and COO for a decade. Since January 2026, I’ve been working closely with multiple 0 → 1 startups, helping them get their first 100 customers.

Prabahan has been an operator in the startup world, having worked at companies like UrbanPiper and Narvar. He’s now my co-founder and handles Ops, Tech and Data at maarket.

Sukanya is our founding content ninja. She and I worked together at Omnify, where the two of us, along with some incredibly talented people, built the entire inbound funnel.

And now we’re building maarket together.

Give it a try

I’d love for all of you to give maarket a try.

Listing is free. We’re not gatekeeping any product features at the moment.

If you’re interested in Boost, my DMs are open.

We’re only onboarding 20 Boost Pro customers in our first batch.

Hit me up if you want to talk.

And if you’re building something, list it on maarket.

Let’s go 🚀🚀
