They Take 30%. We Take Zero.” — Inside Jassim and Abdullah’s Mission to Build a Fairer Platform with Helpy

“I remember calling our first vendor, a car wash, and hearing him tell me he’d never signed up for another platform because they take 30% of his earnings. I thought, this has to change.” — Abdullah, Co-founder of Helpy

It was a small moment, but it lit a fire. Abdullah had always wanted to help people, but seeing the struggles of service providers in Qatar, both expats and citizens, made the problem real. Wages often weren’t enough, talented people were overlooked, and existing platforms were taking too much. That frustration sparked Helpy: a platform built to put fairness, opportunity, and community first.
