MyPoppins operates as an online marketplace connecting professional cleaners with individuals seeking domestic cleaning services. The company was established in Barcelona, Spain, in 2016 by co-founders Aleix de Castellar, Rubén Vilar, and Marta Caparrós. The founding team brought diverse expertise to the venture: Aleix de Castellar had a background as a financial auditor at Deloitte, Marta Caparrós worked in digital marketing, and Rubén Vilar had experience in startups.
The business model is centered on facilitating transactions through its digital platform, where users can book cleaning services in a streamlined process that takes less than a minute. MyPoppins generates revenue by taking a commission from each service booked through its website or app. The platform's target market consists of individuals and households looking for a convenient and reliable way to outsource their cleaning needs. The service is positioned as an affordable alternative, with pricing set on an hourly basis.
A key feature of the MyPoppins platform is the use of a chatbot, named Pop, to manage the scheduling and organization of the cleaning professionals, referred to as "Poppins". The company vets all professionals on its platform to ensure quality and build trust with its user base. MyPoppins has undergone several funding rounds to fuel its expansion. After an initial investment from the accelerator Conector Startup Accelerator, it secured a €640,000 round in 2017 with participation from various business angels. This was followed by a larger round of €1.5 million in 2018.
