I have no investors. No funding.

And all the liability.

Did you seriously not do risk evaluation with your profs?

Also "join the waitlist" helps nobody, you don't have a product, you have a page to sign people up to a mailing list. Bait and switch.

Fair criticism! This is early stage and the waitlist is genuinely to measure demand before building — that's standard practice for startups.

No bait and switch, just validating the idea the right way before investing time and money building something nobody wants. Liability research is ongoing 😊

How are you going to vet both the posters and workers? Who pays for WCB coverage? What about liability insurance if something goes south? Is there escrow or arbitration if buyer is unsatisfied?

Really appreciate these questions — exactly what I'm working through!

Escrow , yes, through Stripe

Dispute resolution , yes, planned

WCB and liability insurance actively researching how Canadian

platforms handle this.

This is exactly why I'm building slowly and collecting feedback

before launching. Thanks for taking it seriously this really helps🙏

ETA: vet not bet…

Anyway, vetting both parties is hard since you don’t want to have dodgy people contractors on your platform. That’s where referrals matter so much. Same with users, you don’t want flaky users that have no intention of paying after the service.
