Built an Unfinished AI App or SaaS? useEmark.com Opens Digital Business Marketplace to 10,000 Early Users

SEATTLE, Aug. 19, 2026 — Millions of people can now build AI apps, SaaS products and digital projects faster than ever. The harder question is becoming what happens when they stop building them.

useEmark.com is opening its developing digital-business marketplace to its first 10,000 Early Access Users (EAUs) around that problem—and using the private beta to test a larger question: how much of a marketplace company can now be built with AI?

AI has assisted useEmark’s development beyond code, including product development, research, marketplace concepts, operating workflows, content, customer-acquisition experiments and Craftr, its developing AI layer.

Now comes something AI cannot manufacture: real people willing to participate.

The EAU program is a one-time $4.99 Founding Pass. It does not renew and creates no subscription, so there is nothing to cancel. Members receive sequential Founder Numbers within the 10,000-person cohort, Ultimate-tier beta access, private listing preparation and marketplace previews. Members also receive monthly AI Project Launchpad access for building projects such as AI micro-SaaS, GPT wrappers and automation tools. Benefits are provisional during beta and may change.

useEmark is also experimenting with making its earliest users part of its distribution model. Each EAU receives a referral code giving referred users 15% off for six months. The planned program provides EAUs a 30% commission for six months, with current illustrative totals ranging from $9 to $306 per referral, depending on plan and retention. Members can share and track referrals now, but cash payouts remain paused until final program terms are established.

The company says the experiment is ultimately about trust. Rather than manufacture reviews or the appearance of marketplace activity, useEmark says it intends to document its earliest cohort and use genuine feedback as the platform develops. Its public feedback policy prohibits fake reviews, fake testimonials and impersonating customers.

“AI can help us build an extraordinary amount, but it can’t manufacture trust. If 10,000 people are willing to join while we’re still building, we want to remember who showed up first and build something meaningful around them.”

The broader thesis is what useEmark calls the Unfinished Economy: as AI makes digital projects easier to create, more apps, SaaS products and online businesses may exist between an idea and a mature company. useEmark is developing marketplace infrastructure around eligible projects in that gap.

useEmark remains in private beta. Features may change, and participation does not guarantee listing approval, buyers, transactions, transfers, payouts or financial outcomes.

The first 10,000 Founder Numbers are now open.
