Servee

A neighbour spent three days trying to find a plumber. Three days, four group chats, one no-show. We kept thinking about how every neighbourhood already knows who the good ones are — the knowledge just lives in group chats and over fences.

So we built the marketplace we wished existed: local help, booked in three taps, from people the neighbourhood already trusts. The hard part wasn't the booking flow — it was making trust visible without turning people into star ratings. Reviews on Servee read like a neighbour recommending someone, because that's what they are.

WHAT HAPPENED →

Thousands of jobs booked since launch. "Booked a plumber in under a minute. Wild." — an early review we think about a lot.
