Business Model Canvas
Kam Karwao is a city marketplace where households post home-service jobs and nearby professionals bid. Islamabad first. Electrician, plumber, AC. Product is built. Take starts after density.
Key Partners
- Field-vetted Professionals (electrician, plumber, AC)
- Protovoid (company frame)
- App Store and Google Play (distribution path)
- Local payment rails later (JazzCash / Easypaisa style) for wallet take
Key Activities
- Seed and field-visit Professionals in one sector
- Run the post → bid → hire → complete loop
- Trust ops (CNIC / Admin desk)
- Densify Islamabad before expanding cities or categories
- Ship bilingual product and store readiness
Key Resources
- Live stack: iOS/Android app, API, realtime bidding, Admin, wallet
- Brand and bilingual (English + Urdu) product
- Verified Professional supply in a tight radius (~5 km)
- Local job and bid history as density grows
Value Propositions
- Post a home job once; see competing bids nearby before anyone arrives
- Clear price and record instead of WhatsApp chat scroll
- CNIC-checked, field-visited Professionals
- Pros get nearby work without cold calling or number shopping
Customer Relationships
- Self-serve hire loop in the app
- In-job chat, status, and ratings
- Admin trust and wallet desk when needed
- Door-to-door sector intros while density is young
Channels
- Consumer app (QA builds today; stores when live)
- kamkarwao.com waitlist
- Sector walks (households + trade shops)
- Later: paid burst and creator GTM after supply exists
Customer Segments
- Primary: Islamabad households (adults 18+) needing electrician, plumber, or AC help
- Secondary: local Professionals in those three trades who want fair nearby jobs
- Cities only; not villages
Cost Structure
- Field vetting and onboarding of Professionals
- Year-one completion incentives to Pros (0% take by design)
- Product engineering and cloud / API hosting
- Launch attention (paid burst) after the radius has supply
- Ops and support
Revenue Streams
- Year 1: no platform take (build density; cash still pays the job)
- Year 2: ~10% take on completed jobs via wallet rails
- Year 3: ~12% take (inDrive-like, not high dispatcher take)
- GMV is work done through the app; revenue is the take after density
