About Service

Kaodim is the leading local services marketplace in South East Asia, providing a web and mobile platform that helps people to find, compare and hire the best service providers easily and dependably.

Whether its a plumber, a hair stylist, wedding photographer or just about any other kind of service, kaodim is here to help. Just answer a few simple questions to tell us what you need, and we'll match you with several qualified service providers who are ready, willing and able to get the job done for you. You can compare prices, view profiles and read user reviews to find the right service provider for the job. It's that easy, and it's absolutely free.

By matching users to service providers, we help them grow their businesses. As an open platform for services, kaodim.com promotes transparency, accountability and improves the quality of services, making the market better for everyone.

Thousands of people make requests for services every week, and although barely a year old, Kaodim currently processes millions in monthly GMV.

Kaodim is backed by some of the best international venture capital firms, from Venturra Capital, BeeNext, 500 Startups, East Ventures and KK Fund. Kaodim is currently available in Malaysia, Singapore and Philippines, and will expand into the rest of South East Asia soon - ultimately with the aim of becoming the 'go-to' platform for just about any kind of service that people need.

Story about why you started your business

I am passionate about big ideas and value creation through business and entrepreneurship.

I always wanted to build a company, as I believe there is nothing more powerful than a group of light minded people working together towards a common goal. Through this collective effort, the group of people become far greater than the sum of their individual parts.

I believe that the services industry presents a great and very unique opportunity given that it relates to things that everyone needs just about every day of their lives. And yet, little has been done to make hiring the right service providers easier, more transparent and better. Equally, almost nothing had been done to elevate the lives of service providers, who have great difficulty searching for customers and growing their businesses. Kaodim is here to change all of that in South East Asia and beyond, by infusing technology and innovation into the services ecosystem.

I firmly believe that Kaodim is changing and improving the lives of all its customers, who now have a much easier, transparent and dependable way of hiring the best service providers for things they care about. And at the same time, Kaodim is improving the lives of service businesses by helping them grow in ways that they have never imagined possible. That is true positive impact, and that drives me to keep going to work everyday and continuously build Kaodim as a business.

Message to Japanese companies or investors

Historically speaking, Japan has been a pioneer in technology and innovation, creating great value across the entire globe. This continues to be so, with truly great Japanese companies and investors coming into South East Asia. I think this is a great opportunity for both Japan and South East Asia to learn from each other, and to create value in Asia and the rest of the world. I look forward to someday meeting and working with all of you!
