About Gathermark
Empowering niche communities with dedicated, trustworthy, and community-first marketplace platforms.
Our Story
We started this journey by spending years in our own niche communities. It became clear that niche culture is thriving. From fountain pens to mechanical keyboards and rare whisky, people are increasingly connecting with others who share their unique passions and interests. Vibrant communities gather on social platforms to share knowledge and enthusiasm, but when it comes to buying and selling the items that define each passion, it is a frustratingly broken experience.
Large marketplaces are cluttered and overwhelming, making it impossible to find exactly what you're looking for. Hacked together solutions on social platforms that were never designed for commerce are ok for experts but a challenge for everyone else. The result? Great communities, but fleeting posts, ineffective search, occasional scams, and a clunky process for both buyers and sellers.
We knew there had to be a better way.
Our Mission
Our Platform
Gathermark is a central platform composed of individual, community-driven marketplaces, much like the subreddits that inspired us. Each community market is a dedicated space for a specific interest, ensuring that you only see relevant listings.
We understand that these communities already have social homes. That's why we've built our platform to meet you where you are. Our AI-powered Reddit Connector allows sellers on subreddits to effortlessly create Gathermark listings simply by pasting the listing URL into our listing creator. We then automatically translate the post into a structured, searchable, and persistent listing on our platform, bridging the gap between social conversation and seamless commerce.
Our Community
Gathermark is more than just a marketplace; it's a platform built on trust and engagement. We prioritize creating a safe and transparent environment through:
- Community Engagement & Moderation
- Enthusiasts can engage with one another on every listing. Community markets are moderated by both Gathermark and their own members, ensuring relevance and authenticity.
- Rewarding Participation
- Top sellers and moderators are rewarded with a share of the revenue, because we believe in recognizing those who build the community.
- Robust Trust and Safety
- We hold funds in escrow to ensure expected delivery, using trusted PayPal mechanics. We also verify artisans, giving certainty about quality of work.
