Market Context
The global digital talent and gig economy continues to expand, projected to surpass $400 billion by 2030.
Yet most talent discovery platforms still rely on static listings and photos that fail to communicate real skill or authenticity. For users, this means friction and distrust; for creators, invisibility in a crowded market.
Lymelyt’s founders recognized a growing opportunity, merge short-form video engagement with instant booking flows to humanize how talent is found and hired.
Pendoah’s challenge was to translate that vision into a mobile experience built for trust, scale, and speed.
