LGBTalent
A curated two-sided marketplace for booking LGBTQ+ performers — drag, music, comedy, and cabaret. Every artist is human-reviewed, with structured booking requests, artist-first contracts, Stripe-secured payments, and travel coordination managed in one platform.

The Challenge
The LGBTQ+ entertainment scene relied on scattered DMs and email threads for bookings, with no unified platform for the full lifecycle — discovery, negotiation, contracts, payments, and travel — and no protections built around the artist.
Built a curated two-sided marketplace with human-reviewed artist profiles, structured booking requests, auto-generated artist-first contracts, and secure Stripe payments where performers keep 100% and organizers pay a small booking fee, plus integrated travel coordination and approval workflows.
