Platform Updates + What coming next...

Over the past few months, we’ve been working behind the scenes improving the platform and building a major new feature: the B150 Marketplace.

The Marketplace is a place to find products, learn which tools and models are actually worth using, and discover the best AI resources in one place. It’s also a launchpad for your own projects. Builders can ship, share, and get their work in front of a community that actually cares about quality and execution. Real use cases, clear comparisons, and community insight help separate signal from noise, so everyone can move faster with better information.

We will be rolling this new feature out in late January but wanted to give you all a preview of what's to come.

Next on our roadmap:

1. Community: We’re building a native, Slack or Discord style community inside B150. This won’t be open chat rooms. It will be small, intentional peer groups formed around shared goals and stages. Groups will meet bi-weekly, be outcome driven, and designed to create real forward motion. Expect private, high trust spaces with clear accountability, light facilitation, and a simple cadence for sharing progress, getting feedback, and shipping together. Additionally, this will be where all on platform direct messages will live. The goal is to have this coincide with a Mobile App (iOS / Android)
2. Job board: A curated job board focused on builders, designers, engineers, and AI operators. Fewer roles, higher quality. Clear expectations, real budgets, and teams that are actually ready to hire.
3. Talent search: Search and discovery for vetted builders and creators based on real work, shipped projects, tools used, and problem domains. Less keyword matching, more signal from what people have actually built.
