Flea Market and Vendor Marketplace Platform: Finding Markets and Selling as a Vendor

Flea markets and swap meets attract millions of shoppers and vendors. Vendors need to find markets, apply for spots, and manage schedules. Shoppers want to discover markets, vendors, and events. Information is scattered across Facebook and flyers. There is an opportunity to build a comprehensive flea market and vendor marketplace platform.

Vendors and shoppers face challenges:

• No comprehensive directory of flea markets by location
