Giving you your time back, one service at a time
Zippy was born from a passion for finding inefficiencies and creating solutions to make life easier. Thanks to the help of AI, the founder and creator of Zippy turned this dream into reality.
The inspiration came from experiencing both sides of the service industry—as a service provider and as a customer.
After starting and operating a lawn care business, the founder saw firsthand how inefficient running a small service business can be. There never seemed to be enough time to do everything needed, let alone wanted.
The days started early—getting equipment ready, driving to the first site, taking care of customers' lawns. Throughout the day, there were constant interruptions: calls and texts about service requests, customers asking for quotes, conversations about potential projects. Then coming home to continue with emails, billing discussions, and more quotes.
Meanwhile, maintaining an advertising presence (both money and time—lots of time) was essential so potential customers would know about the business. By the time the workday ended, the day was over. Family time was slipping away—missing time with loved ones, missing bedtime stories, feeling absent not by choice but by necessity to keep the business running and maintain a decent reputation.
Sound familiar? You're not alone. Many small business owners feel this way.
On the other side of the equation, being a customer in need of home services comes with its own frustrations. We tend to wait until the last minute before trying to find someone, then get frustrated spending time searching for a service provider who can complete the work within our timeframe.
Due to service providers' own time constraints (and honestly, it's understandable—they're busy!), they may not be able to respond within minutes, hours, or even the same day sometimes.
The worst? When you schedule a service and the provider has to cancel at the last minute. When you're looking forward to seeing the end result, this is extremely frustrating because you have to start the entire search process all over again.
If you manage a household, you understand how demanding it can be to find multiple service providers for all your needs. Wouldn't it be easier to manage everything in one place?
Zippy was created to solve all these issues.
We wanted to build a business centered around giving people their time back. We believe that if people have more time, they will be happier. Time is the most valuable resource we have.
Zippy was created to maximize your time—whether you're a Zippy Pro, a Customer, or both.
Here's the truth: paying jobs are not scarce. There is always work to be done and customers willing to pay for quality services.
But for too long, only those who could afford expensive advertising—spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars per month—had access to these opportunities. This created an artificial sense of scarcity in the market, leaving skilled professionals on the sidelines simply because they couldn't afford the marketing costs.
That's not right. And that's not how Zippy works.
Zippy was built to level the playing field. One of our biggest missions is creating equal access to jobs for all Pros who want to work. You shouldn't have to spend insane amounts on marketing just to potentially get a few more customers than someone else. Your skills and quality of work should speak for themselves.
Here's our promise: Zippy handles the marketing for you. We bring customers to the platform, and you get access to those jobs—no expensive ad campaigns required, no pay-to-play schemes.
But we need your help to make this vision a reality. The bigger Zippy gets, the more paying jobs become available to you. Help us spread the word about Zippy—tell other pros, share your experience, let customers know about us. Together, we can create a marketplace where opportunity is based on merit, not marketing budgets.
Equal access. Fair pay. Real opportunity. That's the Zippy way.
We believe that no service provider should have to pay for access to jobs (like they do with services such as Thumbtack and others). Service providers perform labor-intensive tasks and deserve to be paid well for their work.
Zippy values service providers and we appreciate the work that they do.
In order to operate, Zippy must charge a fee. A lot of time, effort and sacrifice went into building this business, and the founder needs to take care of their family too!
Zippy has operational costs: payment processing fees, advertising so more people will know about us, and the technology infrastructure that makes Zippy work. Zippy is built to scale, and we're hopeful that everyone who uses Zippy will have a great experience and share their review with others.
Word of mouth is the best way for others to hear about experiences.
We're starting in Frisco, Texas, and we're hopeful that very quickly, we'll be able to spread Zippy from city to city.
If you manage multiple properties or have short-term rentals, Zippy would be extremely helpful for you. You can manage as many properties as you need with ease.
Our Customer Portal gives you complete control—edit your service needs anytime, including property access instructions, service preferences, and scheduling for each property. If your service needs change, you can cancel a service without any fees. Have recurring services? You can pause them anytime as needed.
There's no signup fee. Just create an account and see what Zippy can do for you!
We believe in equality and fairness.
We believe that people deserve to be able to work and still have a life outside of work.
We value people's time and energy.
Our mission is to improve your life, one service at a time.
Zippy was founded out of a love for people and the environment.
When Zippy is successful and thriving, we plan to use funds for the following initiatives:
As we grow, we plan to reserve funds to periodically split amongst the Pros who keep Zippy going. These "Pro Seeds" (like "proceeds") will be distributed based on several factors:
Zippy wouldn't be able to function without Pros, and we want them to feel valued—because they are!
We hate to see green spaces knocked down for another HOA or commercial development—especially when so many sit empty. We should be building with the intent to be at one with nature, not displacing creatures from their homes and destroying trees and plants.
Zippy will purchase land to leave it alone, protecting it from developers.
Whether you're a service provider or a customer, we'd love to have you be part of our journey.
