WHIZZ operates an on-demand marketplace that lets users book cleaners trained in five-star hotel cleaning, with bookings claimed to take 60 seconds and on-demand dispatch within three hours. The service is available via web, iPhone and Apple Watch apps, offering Apple Watch alerts, iPhone Calendar integration, and WHIZZ HQ tracking to warn customers of delays. WHIZZ uses a flat-fee pricing model (two bedrooms/one bathroom $95; one bedroom/one bathroom $85) and provides add-ons such as washing, ironing, pantry, fridge and oven cleaning. Co-founders are Mark Bernberg, Adam Abrams and Julian Tobias, and the company emphasizes being a service company first while background-checking all cleaners. Since launching six months ago WHIZZ reports 50% month-on-month growth and that 70% of first-time users become repeat customers. The company says only 15% of roughly 2,000 interviewed cleaners met its criteria, underscoring its quality focus, and plans to expand to Melbourne with the new funding.
