About us

Built from a
real need.

Ooido started with a simple annoyance. Two engineers in Switzerland were tired of calling around every time they needed help, and built the booking flow they wished already existed.

About us · 1 / 3

How it started

Dimitrios and Joel met at work. Dimitrios kept hitting the same wall: need a painter, a mover, a driver, and you spend the evening on the phone. Prices were unclear. Nobody could tell you who was free. Booking meant another round of messages.

He brought that to Joel. Joel builds the product, and he was in straight away. In 2025 they started making the app they had been looking for.

The founders

Dimitrios lives in Bern, Joel in Zurich. They built Ooido themselves: iOS, Android, the backend, the website. No big team and no investors. Just a clear idea and two people willing to ship it.

That still matters to them. Dimitrios knows the market and what people actually ask for. Joel turns it into software you can tap and pay with.

Our vision

Finding a local pro in Switzerland should feel ordinary, not like a side job. Ooido is one place to compare, book, and pay, without the usual phone tag.

We are building it here, for this market, because we live it. Trust, clear prices, and a booking you can actually finish in the app.

Drive It is the next step: courier, furniture moves, taxi, and a driver with a vehicle, from an hour to a full day. All in the same app, because splitting that across five tools is what we wanted to get away from.

Joel builds the platform. iOS, Android, backend, website. He and Dimitrios took the idea from a conversation at work to something you can download today.

The idea started with him. Dimitrios saw the gap and kept pushing until Ooido was a real product. He knows both sides of the market: people who need help, and people who provide it.

What we stand for

  • Simplicity

    Booking should feel as normal as ordering food. No long calls. No prices that only show up at the end.

  • Trust

    Reviews, open profiles, and payments that stay protected until the job is done.

  • Swiss & local

    Made here, for how things actually work in Switzerland. High standards included.

  • For everyone

    Trades, freelancers, and customers. The marketplace only works if both sides have a fair, simple flow.
