The people that need these things are not all here. I would suggest you consider posting this in other EA communities like the facebook groups and see if you can get more opinions. In my opinion, such website does not necessarily need to have thousands of users to be highly effective. One does not need to have “critical mass” in the common sense of the word in relationship to large scales. If a handful of people per week regularly use and routinely find solutions from such a “marketplace”, it can still be said to be effective because with every connection made and solution found via the platform, many hours will be saved (time that would have been spent looking for and screening various providers if there was no marketplace like this).
