Community marketplace connecting expats with local service providers in new countries
MyHelpBuddy operates a two-sided marketplace for expats arriving in a new country, bridging them with local service providers to handle bureaucratic tasks, housing, banking, and insurance. The tech stack spans mobile-first (React, Flutter, Swift, Kotlin) plus backend services (Node.js, SQL), with hiring heavily weighted toward product roles—7 of 8 open positions—signaling a scaling phase focused on marketplace expansion and new service verticals rather than infrastructure.
MyHelpBuddy connects expats with local helpers and service providers to manage the friction of relocating internationally. The platform addresses both sides: expats seeking support with administrative tasks and language barriers, and locals offering specialized services. Beyond direct helper booking, the product layer includes a customer card offering (under optimization), partnerships with financial institutions and property services, and emerging e-commerce and retail digitization components. Currently headquartered in Berlin with hiring concentrated in Germany, the company is building toward expansion into new markets and launching multiple new business lines simultaneously.
