About Guillaume & Philippe

It all started with a simple question: “Why is moving so arduous?” There is always a new chapter or an exciting adventure behind a move: a new job, a recent graduation, the beginning of a retirement, a growing family… Yet, 6 out of 10 people consider moving as one of the most stressful life events there is.

By alleviating all of the bad aspects of the moving process, we allow people to have a more pleasant, efficient and organized experience.

Today, we guide millions of families through each step of their moving process, helping them save time and money, and making sure nothing gets left behind. 

Early in my career, I had to move as much as 5 times within 4 years. No matter the distance or the size of the move, I was always struck by how outdated the  moving journey was, and how overwhelming it can feel when there’s so little technology available. It was time for it to change. – Guillaume Lahoud

Q&A

Why is MovingWaldo's creation necessary?

We believe the moving market is in a similar position to where the taxi market was before app-based ridesharing revolutionized it all. There are many moving companies out there, but the market lacks cutting-edge technology solutions and consistent regulation. This leaves customers vulnerable to poor service, scams, unfair practices like extra fees, and a general sense of insecurity. With a technology-driven platform, we plan to offer transparency, security, and convenience to both consumers and moving companies. To consumers, it means transparent pricing, quality service providers, and a hassle-free move. To professional movers, it means exposure to more customers and automation tools. Building MovingWaldo is significant because it addresses a real need in an improvable market, and we’re glad to be part of that improvement.

When we began MovingWaldo, we aimed to simplify one critical part of moving: address change. Eventually, we realized that people also needed help with comparing movers, setting up utilities, and making a myriad of other things easier. We added our set of products to speak to these needs, and it was this responsiveness to actual, day-to-day issues that drove our expansion. The more that our users told us, the more we focused our offerings. Essentially, we kept adapting to solve the actual pain points involved in moving.

We want our clients to feel like their move was a lot easier than they expected. We want to give them a stress-free, transparent and supportive experience. Moving naturally is full of variables. We want to make individuals feel like we truly care about the experience and that we are there to assist in guiding them through it all.

One such memory that has stuck with me was about a single mother moving with her two small children. She was overwhelmed by the details: booking a reliable moving company, coordinating her new utility setup, and coordinating her children’s schedules. Through our site, she was able to locate a very well-recommended mover who has experience working with families and it relieved a huge burden off her back. She also used our checklist guide to make sure that she did not overlook anything that was important, like registering her kids in their new school or updating their health cards. The feeling of relief she expressed while thanking us was incredible. It showed how a few carefully crafted tools and pre-screened services could make such an immense impact on an individual who’s juggling so many responsibilities simultaneously.

In the beginning of our venture, we realized that no single moving company could have solutions to every single requirement. Some want local movers, some unique long-distance jobs, and others yet have very particular requirements like moving antiques. A marketplace type allows us to bring a collection of screened providers so our customers can choose what best fits them. It also allows us to quickly react to new needs and industry advancements.

One, moving is a universal activity but with a lot of points of friction. We identify so many opportunities to improve it using digital means, automation, and better coordination. Two, we are inspired by customer feedback. Whenever we introduce a new feature and see how much people appreciate it, that’s what energizes us. Three, we understand that moving represents a dramatic life change. To be able to assist individuals during that phase is uplifting and fulfilling.
