About this episode
This episode brings us together with Eric Laudet from Batmaid, a startup that lets you book trusted house cleaners in a blink of an eye. It enables households to book their hand-picked and declared cleaning professionals in less than 60 seconds for a one-off cleaning or with a particular frequency. Batmaid's business model creates jobs, fights against the black market and removes the hassle of hiring a maid on the client’s side. Last but not least, Batmaid is able to offer the lowest price for cleaning on the market while making sure the Batmaids remain the top-paid cleaners in Switzerland.
In our conversation we cover the backstory of Batmaid and how it became to be what it is today, how the team managed to grow the platform in such a short amount of time, and we also dive into other exciting startup ideas that Eric is working on. I’m super excited to share this episode with you today, enjoy!
