Crewidoo launches online platform for Canadian creatives to find pre-owned equipment and talent

Crewidoo, a venture in incubation at Empowered Startups, is pleased to announce the official launch of its online marketplace for filmmakers and photographers to find pre-owned equipment, qualified production talent, and available rental spaces for shoots and pre/post production. Crewidoo is a one stop shop for the Canadian creative community with a goal of removing financial barriers to creative outputs and providing an online marketplace to foster collaboration among artists in Canadian communities.

Creating a centralized creative community platform

Crewidoo was built by founder and avid photographer Denny Hing Lung Cheung, who saw an opportunity for a peer-to-peer marketplace where creatives can offer their equipment or services for sale. With the average high quality photography camera costing over $2,000, Denny saw an opportunity to reduce financial barriers for aspiring creatives through an online, easy to use platform that connected sellers of preowned photography and film equipment with interested buyers.

Through speaking to the local creative community, Denny also learned there was a gap in the market for photographers and filmmakers to find qualified and reliable talent, and available studios and spaces for shoots and pre/post production. The culmination of Denny’s market research and customer feedback led him to create Crewidoo, which will serve as a centralized hub for creative production, built specifically for the photography and film community.
