Helprr is building the trusted marketplace for MiniJobs: small, everyday household tasks that are too time-consuming, impractical or expensive to solve through traditional options. Today, people rely on DIY, friends, Facebook or Marktplaats, or professional services designed for larger work. The result is often slow, unclear and difficult to trust. With Helprr, people post a task and verified local Helprrs place bids. Households compare profiles, reviews, price and availability, coordinate in-app, and pay safely through the platform. Helprr structures the full experience—task, bid, agreement and payment—so both sides have more clarity and confidence. The product is live, with real customers and validated paid demand. We are now focused on building local marketplace density: finding the neighbourhoods and categories where demand and supply can match quickly, reliably and repeatedly. We’re starting in the Netherlands, beginning with the Randstad, and aim to become the trusted first choice for MiniJobs nationwide.

AIDAR builds software for artist discovery in the music industry. We help A&Rs and music teams find relevant artists by combining large-scale music and social data with personalized, learning-based discovery. The product revolves around data-heavy artist profiles, search and recommendation logic that adapts to user feedback, and a fast, well-designed web app that makes complex information easy to work with. We’re an early-stage startup with a live product, paying customers, and public funding (EXIST AI Transfer) focused on technical development. The founding team (Janek & Caspar) works hands-on, and engineers have real ownership over architecture, product decisions, and implementation across the stack.
