From the founder
StudioSwap lets creatives rent photo, music, and film studios by the hour or day. 1,400 verified listings, 38 cities (mostly EU). GMV €1.4M TTM, 14% take rate.
ARR-equivalent €196k with 22% margin. Liquidity is strong in London, Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, Lisbon.
Selling because my cofounder and I are exiting a parallel SaaS business and consolidating focus. StudioSwap deserves dedicated marketplace ops.
