What they do

Problem

Hobbyists struggle to find the correct complex hobby items on general marketplaces due to poor filtering, misidentified listings, and counterfeit clutter.

Solution

Miniswap is a structured marketplace with a catalog of 20,000+ miniatures that sellers match listings to for more accurate, searchable buying.

Who it's for

Tabletop gaming hobbyists and miniature collectors (starting with Warhammer buyers and sellers).
