Thank you so much for this really valuable feedback.
You're completely right. The Sign In going to a demo profile and Sign Up opening a waitlist is confusing and I need to fix that. It's currently a demo site showing what the platform will look like but the UX is sending mixed signals. Will be cleaning that up.
The primary pain point: creative professionals, musicians, models, photographers, producers, directors, have no dedicated professional platform to be discovered and booked by brands. LinkedIn is too corporate. Instagram is social not professional. So they're stuck cold emailing into silence while brands struggle to find the right talent outside of expensive agency pipelines. Talvé connects both sides directly.
For Reddit honestly it keeps getting taken down by bots which is a whole separate problem I'm trying to figure out 😅
Really appreciate you taking the time to look properly 🙏

I think there is meat in there somewhere. Maybe the key is to stop selling just the platform and sell the closed deal?
You’re probably hitting a wall with people thinking “another Dribble”, “another sub hub”, “the new Groover”.
Double down on the bypassing agency fees and gatekeepers with algorithmic suppression. That’s probably the moat. The "LinkedIn for Creatives" pitch results in facing extreme distribution friction because it requires a two-sided network effect (thousands of creatives AND thousands of brands) to be valuable. Who do you add first to see the value? Talk to a brand, let them know you will have a pool of creatives to pick from with no agency pipelines.
