HOOME is a for-profit company on a mission: To the best of our ability, we will tap into the unlimited potential and dynamisms of diverse communities, celebrating their creativity while helping to build the next generation of business entrepreneurs. We focus on developing, marketing, and operating a health and wellness (H+W) mobile application that allows users to request (H+W) services on demand. HOOME service providers fulfilling the request can choose to provide service at the client’s home, or, through the mobile application, submit a facility use request to provide service at an approved coworking space. Additionally, facility owners can accept or reject a provider’s request. Our mobile application facilitates reliable supply-demand matching by connecting consumers with (H+W) providers and providers with facility owners. It enables users to arrange and schedule (H+W) sessions on demand. Whether that is at home, an office, or a park, a user can instantaneously request the service they need from a nearby provider. HOOME will change the status quo of how (H+W) services are brought to consumers through on-demand economies. What sets HOOME apart from other (H+W) companies is that our app delivers an approach that fulfills consumer demand through near instantaneous provisioning of (H+W) services. Furthermore, the mobile application allows users to search for providers that are in-network, significantly reducing their out-of-pocket cost for (H+W) services. Additionally, users can filter their results for matches that best meet their interest. Another unique aspect of HOOME is that we offer providers the ability to service their clients virtually anywhere. We also connect providers with the opportunity to service their clients within a coworking space, allowing savings and convenience. Moreover, we offer billing features that expedite payments and ensure accuracy. With increased flexibility, providers can create an individual schedule and choose to provide (or not provide) service anytime they are willing to accept wages for their services. Lastly, facility owners can make the most of their space by sharing it during off-peak hours or rent out sections when unoccupied. We believe in an approach that focuses on building healthy connections through a sense of trust, care, and obligation to others. At HOOME, our mission is to inspire humanity to attain its highest quality of life by improving the way people access and use Health and Wellness (H+W) services. We seek to give back by helping to build the next generation of business entrepreneurs. Our objective is to become the preferred platform for requesting on-demand (H+W) services.
