Lymelyt
Lymelyt
It replaces static and impersonal talent directories with engaging video showcases that build trust and make it easier for users to connect and book talent quickly.
Mobile talent discovery reimagined in 90 days.
Market Context
Text-based talent directories were stuck in the past—low engagement, low trust, and too many abandoned carts. The gig-economy market is expanding 20% a year, yet most platforms still treat talent like static listings.
Miss those hurdles and you lose dollars, users, and investor faith.
The Challenge
- Static profiles couldn’t prove real-world skil
- Talent had no way to stand out in a crowded marketplace
- Booking and payment flows were clunky, causing churn
The Vision
From swipe to secure booking in under a minute.
Imagine TikTok-style discovery, Calendly-simple scheduling, and Stripe-level security—all in one mobile app. That’s Lymelyt.
