Marketplace business - need some help

[phicks]

Hey guys,

So I have a couple of different projects going on right now, but over the past couple of days I've really been focusing on a marketplace idea that I had.

Basically, I want to create a place where businesses or individuals can go and hire the best of the best freelance designers, without having to sort through the junk that is on most freelance websites. Like a Gigster for designers.

The problem is, I don't know whether to go after the designers first or try to get demand for the service first.

What do you guys think? Should I contact top designers and ask if they'd be interested? Or should I try to get people signed up and then approach the designers with jobs ready to go.

Thanks so much for the feedback.

Have you firmly established a need or market and validated anything?

Test or try something for validation.

Maybe you could try a niche as Kung Fu Steve pointed 99designs seem to offer what your proposing.
