The startup Biboss has just announced the raising of 200,000 euros from a private investor in Barcelona to boost its national expansion plan, which will begin in Madrid and Valencia. Founded in 2019 by Luis Albertianazzi, Martín Seco, and Franco Amattatres, the company was forged in Córdoba, Argentina, the hometown of the three founders and Jorge Valario, the project's sole external investor. While Biboss was being launched in the Latin American country, the Crowe accelerator selected them in an initial stage with an investment of 50,000 euros along with three other initiatives to move the project to Barcelona.
Biboss is a marketplace that provides technological solutions for all types of tasks. "When a person has a task to solve, they can announce and describe it with a photograph and an attached text. From there, the offer is published, and everyone who is part of the community receives the proposal and has the possibility of sending a tailored quote," explains Luis Albertianazzi, one of the three founders. The jobs published range from appliance repair to moving services, including cleaning, carpentry, and even furniture assembly tasks.
The main objective of the initiative is, according to Albertanazzi, "to generate communities that can exploit their capacity, talent, and time to generate some type of income." One of Biboss's main differentiating points compared to the competition is its commitment to constantly improving technology and solving user needs in the shortest possible time. "Those requesting tasks can choose from all the quotes they receive from specialized professionals and are not obliged to choose the first one that applies, as happens in other similar applications," Albertanazzi details.
Users announce tasks they need to solve, and everyone who is part of the community has the possibility of sending a tailored quoteIn a clear commitment to transparency and user trust, Biboss details exactly the percentage the company keeps and the remaining amount the professional who performs the task earns"The model is based on us keeping 15% of each task performed, and the rest is profit for the worker. The platform does not choose or manipulate the proposals and budgets that are published," says the founder.
The goal of the expansion is to exceed 60 tasks per month in less than four months in the cities of Madrid and Valencia, which is the figure they currently work with in Barcelona. Within a year and a half, they expect to reach the platform's break-even point, which currently stands at 600 monthly tasks. "In September, we will make the official announcement of the capital increase, from which point the countdown will begin to achieve the short and medium-term objectives," concludes Albertanazzi.
