01

Build your scout profile

Tell us what you're looking for — your channel, your categories, your markets. The database adapts to show you what's relevant. Brokers list their roster and the categories they place into. Brands can find and reach out to you directly too.

02

Search the live database

Filter by category, placement priority, market, stage, and price point. Every brand card shows a match score calculated against your specific profile — not a generic ranking. Role-specific signals tell you exactly what matters for your channel.

03

Send a warm intro

Your intro is auto-filled from your scout profile. Add a short personal note. The brand sees who you are, what you represent, and why you're reaching out — before they decide whether to accept. No cold outreach. No generic requests.

Everything a scout
actually needs

Built for the way scouts actually work — not the way software companies think scouts work. Every feature exists because a real scout asked for it.

🎯

A match score that means something

Calculated from your specific channel, categories, and markets — not a generic algorithm. A 91% match for a wholesale buyer means something different to a 91% match for a landlord.

📋

Named lists for every brief

Build shortlists for every project — "Q2 Emerging Brands", "Austin Pop-Up Candidates", "Lagos Brands to Watch". Share any list with a colleague and they'll get a PLACED invite automatically.

🌍

Truly global coverage

Brands from Lagos, Nairobi, São Paulo, and Mumbai rank the same as brands from New York. Geography is context, not a quality signal. Find what's new before it's everywhere.

🔔

Alerts for new matches

Get notified the moment a brand that matches your categories and markets is approved, with instant, daily or weekly email summaries.

👥

Built for teams

Sign up with your work email and PLACED automatically recognises your organisation. Every @yourdomain.com colleague who joins gets added to your team account at $150/mo per seat. Shared lists, individual profiles, one billing relationship. The whole buying team, not just one person.

⚡

Status signals that save time

See which brands are actively looking (green), open to the right intro (gold), or quiet (grey) before you reach out. Every card shows how recently the brand was active — no dead profiles cluttering your results.

"If you source for a shelf, a space, a story or a portfolio, you know the problem: the best emerging and experiential brands are hard to find, and finding them eats weeks of your time. I built PLACED to put them in one place, searchable by category, market and stage. You send a warm, structured intro and the brand decides whether to accept. No cold outreach, no noise. Just the right conversations, started the right way."
