Seeking Talent — Project Kickoff (March 25, 2026)
Client
- Kinah — First Heru Discovery client
- Deal: $4,200 for MVP
- Revenue model: Casting Directors pay $97/month. Talent is free.
What It Is
Two-sided casting platform — “casting OS” replacing 6 tools (spreadsheets, email, Calendly, Zoom, DocuSign, Venmo).
Two Personas
- Casting Director ($97/mo) — Post breakdowns, search talent, manage pipeline, generate call sheets, send contracts, pay talent
- Talent (free) — Build profile, browse opportunities, apply, track status, sign contracts, receive payments
Killer Feature
Call Sheet Generator — the thing that sells the $97/mo subscription. Casting directors live by call sheets.
