MyHelpBuddy is a trusted community marketplace for personal services with the mission of making the integration process of international community stress-free. MyHelpBuddy connects Newbies with Buddies. Newbies are international people who come from any country to Germany in order to study, work or settle. Buddies are verified local people, freelancers, translators, service providers etc. who know the local language and the local processes and who are willing to help the newbies in their integration into a new city/country. If a Newbie requires help in any activity, they can “Post a Request”, “Book a Buddy” and “Get the work done”. The Newbie can also invite Buddies from the list or choose the best offer posted by the Buddies.
More than 375000 students and 266000 working professionals come to Germany every year. The target group is all international students and working professionals who move to Germany every year, especially from countries like India, China, Russia, France and Italy, which constitutes the major population.
We are developing the world’s first platform dedicated for the Expats to get help anytime, anywhere!
Together, we are a young and experienced team with a diverse skill set. We also represent our target audience as the entire team has international background, have gone through the same processes and have faced the same issues that MyHelpBuddy is addressing. This makes us the best fit for addressing the issues faced by the (our) international community. Our mission is to make the integration process of Expats simple, secure and stress-free. Do join us in our mission!
