Spacewolff is a peer-to-peer marketplace for ad space. Anyone can list any type of space for ads, and businesses looking to advertise can place ads with users directly. Think of Airbnb, but for ad space. Users are monetize all types of space, ranging from stickers on laptops and balcony signs, to radio ad space in nationally ranked programs.

Has anyone bought ad space on someone's arm, @mbrwolff?

@rrhoover no, but I'll give anyone from ProductHunt a discount on my arm tattoo. 10% off, but I can approve or deny the tattoo :)

@dean_glas thank you! I had a startup before that was a transparent TV (pretty cool). Towards the end, I wanted to finance the manufacturing, so I went to local nail salons and asked if I could pay them to hang the TV in their window. I then went to local yoga studios and juice bars who shared the same audience, and got them to pay to advertise on the TV. The concept took off! I quickly realized that my product wasn't solving a problem; I was. Small businesses don't know how to advertise. And, I was monetizing the excess space of the salons, so the space was cheaper. I took a step back and decided the best way to scale would be to create a marketplace that both aggregates traditional ad space (such as newspapers and TV) and crowdsourced ad space, creating a one stop shop for advertisers and automating the ad sales process.

Really like the idea, congrats on launching @mbrwolff. The chicken and egg problem of marketplaces is always challenging to crack, how were you guys able to get started and which side (sellers vs. buyers) are you most focused on at the moment?

@jrwallenberg thanks for the upvote. The chicken or the egg problem is tough. The markets we're focusing on all share the same audience/market, so that makes it easier. We're concentrating now on building our inventory of space owners and ad spaces, but we're noticing also that users are selling ad space to fund their ad campaigns, so they're effectively acting as both "sellers" and "buyers."
