How I Built a "Tinder for Influencers & Brands"
A user joined the Enter.pro Hackathon and built a matchmaking platform connecting influencers and brands — inspired by a real pain point spotted at work.
I participated recently in a Hackathon organized by Enter.pro. I was excited to try this vibe coding platform for the first time. They hold many promises, and it was my chance to see what this platform could be capable of. And spoiler to our reader — I got impressed, and managed to create my first platform fast, and more importantly, deploy it instantly.
Finding the Idea
It seems that we are living in an era where all the barriers to entry in most markets go down. The real new exciting challenge is to think and reflect on what can create real value.
I was in a meeting at work, and we were discussing the hardship to find matching influencers for our brand. It is indeed an interesting paradox. A lot of influencers would love to work with certain brands, but it's very hard for them to reach out to them. On the other hand, all brands nowadays want to collaborate with influencers that would match their values and share about their product. You have of course influencer agencies — but the process can be lengthy and a lot of communication is needed.
Then I thought for a minute. Why not create an app for influencers and brands to match? A Tinder for the new economy.

Starting to Build
This was my starting idea, which I directly communicated using Enter.pro's Plan Mode, to make sure the structure and idea was fitting my own vision. What I liked about this step is that it forced me to think clearly before building anything. I could lay out the concept, see if it made sense, and adjust before a single thing got built.
The idea was simple:
- Sign up on the platform as a creator or brand
- Give the information of your social media or brand
- Enter the swiping phase to match
- Once matches are made, the two counterparts can communicate on creating projects together
- Add AI matching to have high quality matches
I first started by following the Plan Mode and started to add by blocks some more requirements. This is where it got interesting : I wasn't trying to plan everything upfront, I was just adding one layer at a time and seeing how it came together:
- AI fully enabled to have AI matching
- A dashboard to have an overview of number of matches and discussions
Getting the Design Right
Once the structure was in place, I wanted the platform to actually look good. I went to find some design inspiration, and when I found a style I liked, I simply uploaded the image directly into Enter.pro. From there, the platform was able to capture the visual direction and apply it to my project.
The result? A moving, animated UI style that makes the platform feel alive and modern — way beyond what I expected to get out of a Hackathon project.
The Result
What really surprised me was how fast everything came together. I went from an idea I had in a meeting to a fully deployed, working platform — all within the Hackathon. No separate tools, no complicated setup. Just describing what I wanted, refining it step by step, and hitting deploy.
The platform addresses something I think a lot of people in marketing feel but don't always articulate clearly: there's a real gap between influencers and brands who would be a great fit for each other, but simply never find one another. This app tries to close that gap in the simplest way possible: match, connect, collaborate.
If you have an idea you've been sitting on, I'd genuinely encourage you to just try! The hardest part these days isn't building, it's deciding what's worth building.
