Problem
Finding reliable local service providers and businesses for everyday needs—from home repairs to event planning—is time-consuming and often relies on fragmented listings or word-of-mouth referrals. Additionally, small businesses and entrepreneurs face high costs and commission fees when trying to establish an online presence through traditional e-commerce marketplaces.
Solution
WorkEv provides a unified digital marketplace where users can quickly discover and connect with businesses and professionals across hundreds of categories. The platform allows users to post job requests for free trickle-down services, while businesses, including women entrepreneurs and second-hand sellers, can create digital storefronts without paying commissions or fees on their sales. An AI algorithm called WorkiBot curates and lists top-rated businesses across categories to help users find the ideal provider. The platform also includes a community forum and an integrated category for second-hand goods to support sustainable consumption.
