| Bidvine | Bidvine makes it ridiculously simple to hire trusted local service providers. They make hiring local, trusted service professionals ridiculously simple - and help people use the time saved to pursue their passions.Getting things done is awesome. More accurately, being done and enjoying the outcome is the real reward of dealing with the smallestfix to the largest project. The problem is that finding someone to help you get there has remained a hassle. Wasn’t technology supposed to help with things like that? While looking to achieve personal goals, find a language tutor for their kids, renovate their house and even clear a wasp nest from their front door, they were spending more time on legwork than on the things they love. They would rather take their kids to the park than hunt for an electrician that can come next Tuesday. They would rather take their journal to the café than search for a quality Arabic language tutor. This is why they started Bidvine. They wanted a better way to find local service providers who could do what they needed, were available when they needed them, and were interested to help. With a background in marketing and marketplaces, as a team they felt uniquely positioned to tackle this challenge and build a business that could be everyone’s first and best choice for getting from to-do to done as quickly as possible. They first conceived of this idea in a shared workspace in Dubai, UAE, are building the platform in Waterloo, Canada, are creating the reality of Bidvine and going to market in London, UK - and through it all they are powered by people. | $120K | Seed | Nov 10, 2014 |  |
