Bookanypro.com was developed by entrepreneur Ahmed Al Hassoni. Speaking about the launch of the platform, Al Hassoni said: “The services and rental industry is a multi-billion-dollar market in the UAE and we are quite keen to revolutionise the market. With Covid-19 changing the dynamics of the way people work and the thriving gig economy in the UAE, we want to make sure we support the freelancers and service professionals by providing them a platform to get the right kind of work and projects. We want to make sure we contribute positively to the UAE economy. Our objective for online bookings is to make bookings as seamless and transparent as possible.”
In the near future, Bookanypro.com will also scale its operations across key growth markets in the Mena region. The start-up is currently in the process of raising seed funding and will be sharing details once the round is closed. While the platform is currently web based it will also be an app based platform.
Ahmed Al Hassoni concluded: “As a digital B2C online services and talent marketplace, our ambition is to be the number one search engine for daily essential services and any corporate events or home events in MENA. The response we have received so far emphasizes the promising start-up environment in the UAE, and hopefully will be an inspiration to create new tech ventures that support the digital transformation in the region.”
