One Marketplace.
Every Market.
Marketbase is one marketplace that gives every category its own branded experience, perfectly tailored to that community. Pez collectors see Pez. Golfers find clubs. Pop art fans discover drops.
We see one marketplace powering it all.
Great communities get
buried in generic marketplaces
Every week, new obsessions explode. Pokemon cards. Labubu figures. Vintage Rolex. KAWS prints.
Traditional marketplaces make them category #4,827. The community gets lost in 1.9 billion irrelevant listings. The magic dies.
These passionate communities deserve their own home—not a subcategory on someone else's platform.

Pop Culture Artist
"Finally, a marketplace where I can manage my primary and secondary collectors in one place. I can see what they have in their collections and plan my releases accordingly. Sugrhype gets the art world."
Maya Chen
Pop Culture Collector
"Sugrhype connected me with incredible new collectible pop artists and made discovery so easy. I've found pieces I never would have discovered otherwise. The curation is spot-on for what I love."
Carver
Card Artist & Creator
"MARKETBASE didn't just build us a marketplace—they gave our community its own world. What used to be underground trading in Discord servers is now a thriving ecosystem. My collectors finally have a proper home."
We don't build new marketplaces.
We reveal the perfect version of one.
While others spend 9 months building from scratch, we spin up new markets in days. Each one looks unique to its community but runs on our proven infrastructure.
This is how we'll own every market—not by building thousands of marketplaces, but by running one that serves them all.
One Marketplace Backend
Behind every branded experience is the same powerful marketplace—unified listings, payments, data, and operations.
Category-Specific Experiences
Custom storefronts, drops, peer-to-peer trading, authentication flows—whatever that community needs.
Communities Thrive
Instead of fighting for attention on generic platforms, collectors and creators get spaces built specifically for them.
