    Browse paid opportunities matched to your skills, or post a brief if you're a business looking for talent.

    Connect and get paid

What's next

The road to launch

No fake numbers, no placeholder testimonials. Here's honestly where things stand.

  1. Now

    Waitlist is open

    We're building the core marketplace: profiles, gig postings, and applications. Join now to help shape it and get early access.

  2. Next

    Private beta

    A small batch of waitlist members get in first, posting and applying for real gigs before anyone else.

  3. At launch

    Full marketplace opens

    Contracts and held deposits go live for everyone. Post a gig, apply for one, get paid for your craft.

Before you ask

Questions, answered

We're targeting a public launch later this year. Waitlist members get access first, in waves, before the doors open to everyone.

Yes. Making a profile, posting gigs and applying for them costs nothing. cntd only takes a fee when a gig is booked: 10% of the gig fee, split so each side pays 5%. If a gig is posted less than 48 hours before it starts, or marked urgent, the fee is 15%, split the same way.

Anyone can post a gig, and anyone can apply for one. When the poster picks someone, cntd writes up the contract and both sides sign it. Each side then puts down a deposit, and after the gig the performer is paid through cntd.

Yes, through Stripe. Once the contract is signed, each side puts down a deposit of 20% of the gig fee, up to SGD 200, and cntd holds it. When the gig is done, the hirer pays the rest, the performer is paid into their bank account, and the performer's deposit comes back. Whoever pulls out after paying their deposit loses it to the other side, as credit towards a future booking on cntd.

No. Musicians, bands, singers, producers, DJs, dancers, actors, designers, visual artists, photographers, videographers and writers are all welcome, and so are the venues and businesses that book them.

Waitlist members get first access at launch and a founding badge on their profile. Just one email when we're live.
