Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built Popli because I kept noticing the same problem on both sides.
Friends who run cafes and wine bars want to host events — live music, popup dinners, creative workshops — but have no reliable way to find and book local talent. They rely on word of mouth, Instagram DMs, and a lot of luck.
And talented locals — musicians, chefs, influencers — are constantly looking for paid opportunities at venues that fit their vibe, but have no centralised place to find them.
The platform connects both sides: businesses post event requests, talent applies, businesses shortlist. Simple.
We're starting with musicians because live music is the most universal way a venue creates an atmosphere people want to come back to. But the infrastructure supports any talent category — influencers, popup chefs, workshop hosts are next.
This is an early version. The core flows work: post an event, apply, shortlist. If you want to try it:
- Business demo: theroastery@demo.com / password123
- Talent demo: maya@demo.com / password123
Would love to hear from anyone running a small venue, or anyone who performs or creates locally. What would make this genuinely useful for you?
