From the founders
We built Zamala because we've watched too many brilliant Vancouver pros stay invisible. If you recognize yourself, you're in the right place.

Questions
THE REAL ANSWERS.
How much do credits cost?
You buy credits, and each inquiry costs a set number of credits to open a private message thread with the host. Pricing details will be published on the pricing page — Founding Pros also receive 20 free credits to start.
What if an inquiry turns out to be invalid?
You can report inquiries with invalid event details or fraudulent content. We review each request and may credit your account back if confirmed — details in our refund policy.
What if the host never replies?
Every unlock comes with a 7-day response guarantee. If the host does not reply within 7 days, your credits are returned automatically. You only pay for conversations that happen.
Do I need a big portfolio?
No. Emerging pros welcome. What matters is the quality of your work and your commitment to the people who hire you.
How do you decide who gets an inquiry?
Zamala matches based on what the host described — category, date, location, style, culture, budget. Each inquiry goes to a limited number of pros who fit best. Not a broadcast.
I serve outside Greater Vancouver — can I join?
Yes. Our active focus at launch is Vancouver, Victoria, and Whistler. If you serve Kelowna, Nanaimo, Chilliwack, or Abbotsford, you're welcome — hosts in your area will grow as we expand.
How long is onboarding?
The 8-step wizard takes about 15 minutes. Polishing your profile with Zamala tools takes a bit more. Most Pros are ready to receive inquiries the same day.
How long is the Founding Pro cohort open?
The Founding Pro benefits — free credits, Founding badge, priority visibility — are available during our pre-launch phase. After that, free signup stays open for everyone.
Is there a contract?
No annual contracts. No commitment. You join, you use what helps, you leave when it's time. Your profile stays yours.
Who runs Zamala?
Juliana Morais and Raphael Andrade — Brazilian musicians and immigrants who met in Vancouver, built Zamala over 2.5 years. Reach us at contact@zamala.ai.
