What tech stack should I use to build a healthcare marketplace?

For a healthcare marketplace, consider Next.js for server-rendered SEO-friendly frontend, Supabase for PostgreSQL backend with Row-Level Security for HIPAA compliance, and Vercel for fast deployments. This stack provides developer speed, security, and scalability. OpenMyPro was built with this exact combination.

How do you solve the chicken-and-egg problem in healthcare marketplaces?

Start supply-side first by personally onboarding providers with free listings. Focus on geographic density — 50 providers in one city is better than 1,000 spread nationwide. Only market to patients once you have sufficient provider coverage in a given market.

How much does it cost to build a healthcare marketplace?

OpenMyPro was built for $65K and reached breakeven on that investment. Using modern tools like Next.js, Supabase, and Vercel, a solo developer can build a production-ready healthcare marketplace. The key costs are development time, HIPAA compliance infrastructure, and initial provider onboarding.
