zenGOT connects customers with trusted, qualified and affordable home service providers.
VANCOUVER, Nov. 14, 2018 /CNW/ - zenGOT Services Inc. (zenGOT), Canada's "Uber of home services" according to the Vancouver Sun, announced today that it has partnered with crowdfunding platform FrontFundr to raise its next round of equity. For as little as $1,000, Canadians can now own shares of this exciting new venture.
Global revenues from the on-demand economy are expected to explode from $14 billion in 2014 to $335 billion by 2025. But what's behind this meteoric rise? According to Rachel Botsman, an Oxford University lecturer and world-renowned expert on trust and technology, the currency of the new economy is trust. Engendering trust follows a pattern of trusting a new idea, trusting the company and platform, and trusting the party on the other side of the platform (the customer or service provider).
That's where zenGOT comes in. zenGOT is an online platform and App that provides on-demand home services (such as cleaning, yard work, errand running and general assistance) by trusted, qualified and affordable home service providers (zenGivers). zenGOT has built a network of service providers in nine of Canada's ten largest cities making services available to over a third of Canadians.
Through its relationship with FrontFundr, zenGOT is poised for its next phase of growth and is opening the door to Canadians to invest.
zenGOT was founded by serial entrepreneur Catherine Goulet. Like many, Catherine was too busy, but she refused to accept that there wasn't enough time, "I knew there had to be a better way and that I wasn't the only one experiencing a shortage of time. I wanted more freedom to do what I enjoy with the people I love so I decided to create zenGOT."
What Catherine hadn't anticipated as she was building zenGOT was that, the day after her ailing father-in-law passed away, her husband would be diagnosed with cancer. With two teenage boys, a special-needs daughter and a mother-in-law needing more support than ever, she was unexpectedly faced with what scientists have coined a "time famine".
Fortunately, Catherine received support from a young woman who had become a trusted family friend – she helped with cleaning, laundry, errand running and even elder assistance for Catherine's mother-in-law. Says Catherine, "I don't know how I would have managed without her help. I absolutely trusted her which allowed me to focus on what was really important – being there for my loved ones."
"I'm happy to report that my husband's cancer is cured," declares Catherine. "Going through that experience impassioned me to build zenGOT to be a safe and trustworthy platform for all Canadians to use."
"Using a multi-step vetting process, we've onboarded a team of top-notch service providers – our process is so rigorous that fewer than 50% of signups make the final cut," explains zenGOT's Chief Operating Officer Andrew Jenkins. "Our commitment to engaging trusted, qualified service providers is a key to our success."
"With 72% of people having used on-demand services and the Canadian market for on-demand home services largely untapped, zenGOT is primed for rapid growth," continues Andrew. "Today's launch of our FrontFundr campaign is an opportunity for investors to get in on the ground floor. In addition, this investment is RRSP or TFSA account eligible. Anyone interested in placing an investment in zenGOT can do so through the FrontFundr website. "
"I'm excited about our goal to become the largest provider of home services in Canada within the next few years," says Catherine. "I created zenGOT to help others enjoy a better quality of life. We've replicated what my dear friend did for me at a challenging time in my life. Whether you're a customer, zenGiver or investor, life is short. Why not seize the day and join us on the next step of our journey?"
zenGOT is an easy to use, online platform that matches customers who order on-demand home services with trusted, qualified and affordable service providers (zenGivers).
