MARKETPLACE

Vetted AI builders. Matched to your brief.

A small, hand-checked bench of developers who build with AI for a living. When the full marketplace launches, it opens on the same standards — nothing less.

HOW IT WORKS

One quiet promise.

We don't run a bidding pit. You tell us what you need. We match you with a builder from our bench — someone we've personally worked with, checked, and would hire ourselves. You get a fixed-price proposal within 48 hours. You pick, they build, we stay in the loop until it's shipped.

The full self-service marketplace is in build. Until it launches, everything runs through us directly — which is how we like it for now.

FOR BUSINESSES

Got a project? Let's talk.

Tell us what you want built. Our job is to get you in front of the right builder fast — not to sell you on a longer, more expensive version of your idea. If we don't have the right match, we'll tell you.

We'll verify your email before your brief is reviewed.
Don't overthink it — our AI-assisted intake will walk you through the detail after you submit.
£5k
Slider only — nothing committed. Helps us match the right builder.
No charge for the brief. No charge unless you hire.

Brief received.

We'll verify your email, review your brief, and come back within 48 hours with a shortlisted builder and a fixed-price proposal. While you wait, follow us on Instagram — we post build case studies there.

THE 5-STEP FLOW

How a Koppd project actually runs.

Works the same whether you're briefing us or building for us. Fixed prices, clear scopes, no bidding, no surprises at week three.

01
BRIEF
You tell us what you need.
Short form, a few sentences, a rough budget. Our AI-assisted intake fills in the gaps — we never auto-match, a human reads every one.
≈ 10 MINUTES · YOUR END
02
MATCH
We pick one builder.
Not a shortlist to pick from. One builder from our bench — the right one for your problem, that we'd personally hire for this.
WITHIN 48 HOURS
03
SCOPE
Fixed price, fixed scope.
You and the builder agree exactly what ships, for exactly what number. Koppd holds the contract. Our 15% platform fee is included in the quoted price — no hidden add-ons.
3–5 DAYS · TYPICAL
04
BUILD
They build. You stay in the loop.
Weekly progress updates. A midway check-in with us. Payments released in stages as milestones land, not upfront.
1–4 WEEKS · TYPICAL
05
SHIP
Handover, properly.
Working code, short walkthrough, everything documented in plain English. Fourteen days of post-handover support for anything that breaks.

FOR BUILDERS

Build for clients who've done the homework.

Koppd is a small bench of builders we actually trust. We keep it small on purpose. If you ship good work and communicate like a grown-up, there's a place for you. No bidding wars, no race to the bottom, no pretending portfolios. We're adding builders carefully — apply below, we'll review properly, and we'll reply either way.

Specificity beats length. "Built an internal tool that cut invoice processing from 4 hours to 15 minutes" beats two pages of jargon.
£500/day
Slider only — doesn't commit you, just gives us a shape.
We review every application personally. Expect to hear back within a week.

Application in.

We review every application personally and reply either way — expect to hear from us within a week. In the meantime, follow us on Instagram to see what we're shipping.

OUR STANDARDS

We only work with builders who…

Quote a fixed price and stick to it.
No hourly surprises, no "scope crept" emails at week three. What you sign is what you pay.
Talk like a human.
You'll never get a reply that sounds like it was copy-pasted from a spec doc. Plain English, every time.
Ship, test, and hand over properly.
Including the bit where you can actually maintain what they built without them around forever.
Are easy to reach.
One point of contact. Replies in hours, not days. No one plays "account manager".
Know when to say no.
If AI isn't the right answer for your problem, they'll tell you — even if it costs them the job.
Are vouched for.
Every builder on the bench has shipped work for us or someone we trust. That's the bar.
QUESTIONS

Commonly asked.

What kinds of things do your builders make?+

Internal tools, AI-powered workflows, chatbots, automations, small SaaS tools, integrations. Anything where AI is genuinely part of the answer — not stuck on as a feature.

What do projects typically cost?+

Most fall somewhere between focused one-week builds and longer custom projects. Once your brief is in, the proposal will have a specific number, not a range.

What if the build goes wrong?+

Payments run through a protected flow — you approve the work before money moves. If a builder doesn't deliver, we step in. In the rare case it can't be resolved, we refund.

Can I speak to a human before submitting a brief?+

Yes. Email [email protected] and we'll jump on a call.

Do I have to go through Koppd once I've worked with a builder?+

Yes, for the first project. After that, whatever you and the builder agree between yourselves is up to you.

Why should a builder bother with Koppd rather than find clients directly?+

Because finding well-scoped, fair-budget clients is the hardest part of the job. That's what we do. You build, we bring the work and handle the mess.
