We are all in a crunch for time and looking for ways to fill in the gaps and identify ways we can save time efficiently and inexpensively.
Wand is a mobile app that enables consumers to find house cleaners in a competitive, supportive, and sophisticated environment.
Ever since Uber, Task Rabbit, and even Waze came on the scene, there has been a huge surge in applications that create quick solutions to everyday problems. Most of these problems relate to what has become the world’s most valuable commodity: time. Wand is one of these apps, as it provides an easy solution to your house cleaning woes, that can easily be the greatest time suck.
Cleaning is a task we all know needs to get done but (naturally!) still resent the process. As a result, we procrastinate. What was once a hamper of laundry becomes a sinkful of dishes and an entire apartment to vacuum.
The neverending to-do list is a real thing. And it sucks!
Well, of course. But Harry Potter, we are not. While we don’t have a literal wand, we do have an application with the same name. Enter Wand: a mobile app that connects house cleaners with customers in an empowering, but competitive environment.
Traditionally, mobile apps that give domestic workers the opportunity to find customers require them to adhere to a specific price schedule. With Wand, however, the cleaners are in complete control so have the ability to respond to consumer demand in the way they feel fit to their own business.
With that in mind, Wand aims to empower the service provider--not just provide consumers with an easy solution to their house cleaning woes.
Wand has already gathered enough consumer data to validate our application to a 97% positive response rate and we successfully closed our pre-seed funding round August 2018.
With your investment, you will enable us to have a successful app launch with a cutting edge marketing campaign and an onboarded support team to ensure both our cleaners’ and consumers’ needs are sufficiently met. This application is a user-friendly solution to a problem every person has and will enable freelance cleaners a new option to grow their business in a flexible and customized way.
Join us in improving lives, one household at a time, and with just one Wand.

$9.52/share of Common Stock│When you invest you are betting the company’s future value will exceed $8.1M.
For details on the bonus, please see the Offering Summary below.
When we decided to work on this idea, we knew Wand would not be the only option for both cleaners and consumers to choose from. Our distinction is in how we support house cleaners in building their own businesses without taking an inflated percentage of their earnings.
We believe one of the biggest issues for freelance cleaners today is being able to build their own business in an environment that’s supportive yet still competitive. For cleaners who find employment with a major cleaning company, they are at the mercy of that company’s price schedule, as opposed to being able to set their own rates. On the flip side, for cleaners using a website like CraigsList, the assurance that their customer will pay them or that they will even be able to find the right customers is easier said than done.
Our app will give cleaners an effective platform to grow their businesses and consumers an easy, sophisticated way to find the most competitive and experienced cleaners in their neighborhoods.
The Wand founders are just a couple of guys who had a vision...just kidding. Well, not kidding but there’s more to it than that.
During a regular brainstorming session, the founders found themselves lingering upon the success of specific service-based applications, it was after taking time to think on what industries were lacking a similar solution that they determined that the Residential Cleaning Industry was the perfect next candidate to integrate this successful model.
With both founders possessing a strong background in digital marketing, business development, and software experience, they knew they had the chops to take their idea forward.
As the co-founder and owner of Wand, Andrew has an extensive background in business operations and development. Andrew has built and sold several e-commerce retail stores, and owned and operated an exclusive consulting group local to Denver. (Wand is now the only company in which Andrew has ownership and an executive position in.) Some of Andrew’s specialties include operations, strategy/mission execution, branding and vision development, product innovation and digital marketing.
A serial entrepreneur and digital strategist, Ben is bridging full time to Wand fresh out of a CMO position with WRIO Internet OS. Currently, Ben is a co-founder and owner of Wand USA Inc. Following his first exit via acquisition after 9 months in operation, Ben went on to accumulate an additional 5+ years of freelance and software experience working a variety of contracted and full-time positions. Ben is actively utilizing his experience in marketing, development, strategy, PR, campaign management, SEO and customer acquisition full-time through Wand.
We have created an app that is not only robust in terms of features and capability but also easy and fun to use.
Ability to Find Cleaners Nearby
With Wand, you will be able to find cleaners in your nearby area with the push of a finger. No more searching through Yelp, CraigsList, or dealing with price comparing on multiple sites. The cleaners will have clear profiles with defined price points, making your cleaner selection more seamless than ever before.
Perfect Match
Cleaners’ reviews will be easy to pull up for consumers to select their ideal cleaner.
Cleaners gain multiple advantages by being on Wand, starting with being able to grow their business by setting their own rates. Unfortunately, many other apps create set price points for cleaners to stick to, preventing them from having the flexibility to price up or down depending on consumer demand.
At Wand, our aim is to act more as a supportive median between cleaners and consumers, rather than dictate how cleaners interact and structure their businesses.
Features like our in-app messenger give cleaners and customers a channel to easily and securely communicate specifics of the job.
Cleaners are able to fully customize their profile including details such as prices, personal bio, experience, pictures, and their available supplies.
In developing Wand we’ve put major emphasis on structuring a platform that is not only consumer friendly but equally accommodating and easy to use for the service provider.
The Wand app is currently in the MVP stage. Our successful prior round of funding has given us the resources to develop our MVP, begin surveying and ground-testing, and begin the acquisition of service providers to have ready for application launch in Denver. Completed aspects and functionalities of the application include: UX/UI design, service provider onboarding process, home profiling framework, service type selection, and FAQ/self-support tools. With the help of your investment, we will allocate funds towards operations and further development of the application. Some of these developments include: GPS integration, in-app profiles/reviews, In-app messaging, push notifications/alerts, user-task dashboard, payment processing integrations and superior application hosting for advanced privacy protection and userbase stability. All updates and improvements will be integrated prior to our controlled launch in Denver, following additional updates and improvements within Q3 2019.
“We’re building our app for the everyday consumer and service provider in mind. We wanted to further demonstrate that by launching our second round of funding on an equity crowdfunding platform so that everyday people could share in our success and build a community around our company.”
According to Statista, total revenue in the Household Cleaners segment in the United States amounts to US$5,610m in 2018. The market is expected to grow annually by 1.2% (CAGR 2018-2021).
These statistics do not assess how much of this revenue is being derived from cleaners using websites and apps like CraigsList and Task Rabbit.
We believe that one of the biggest issues that cleaners have with traditional companies and our competitors alike is the lack of flexibility. This is especially true in the way they can price their services.
Ultimately, we want our cleaners and consumers to have the freedom to make the best choices in terms of service pricing and service selection. Wand will be secure, but not restrictive. It is important to us to carefully vet onboarded cleaners for quality and experience, however, we want people to be empowered to launch cleaning services that perhaps they have not been able to do before on other websites! Likewise, we want our customers to feel like they have adequate options for cleaners to choose from and the data to make an informed decision when hiring a cleaner.

Consumer Interest Survey Subject
With your investment, you will help us change the domestic cleaning landscape for the better. We believe that house cleaners have not yet had a platform to truly provide the most competitive rates to grow their cleaning businesses. We also believe that consumers are being relegated to a limited number of cleaners who have simply accepted rates provided by limiting applications, websites, and maid services.
We want to literally bridge this divide with our application. Your investment will enable us to have a successful launch that will lead to many happy cleaners and customers.
Are you ready for the magic of Wand?
Nowadays, the constant pursuit of professional achievements translates into needing different services to facilitate our daily lives and minimize the number of obligations, like maintaining our houses clean.
Receiving private cleaning services in our homes or offices is very common in this society of immediacy where life focuses on more important tasks such as job performance and constant improvement. Therefore, hiring cleaning services is something that we tend to do in the wrong way.

Good morning to our amazing Investors and supporters! To start off the week, we were ecstatic to see that we'd raised an excess of another $5,000 since our last update!! We have been consistently surprised the last few weeks on how this campaign has taken off, having raised just shy of $25,000 in the past week.
Everyday we are bringing our platform closer to perfection while we receive beta feedback from test users to optimize our user story and find bugs in our project.
We are also creating new relationships with launch partners by the day, including apartment complexes to offer Wand as a premium to their tenants and also laborer groups to help obtain more cleaners to meet our user demand! These partnerships will be integral to our growth until we have the infrastructure in place to offer Wand to cities as a whole.
Additionally, this evening we will be presenting to community leaders and VC representatives through the Venture Pipeline Cohort we have been participating in through MultiPass Ventures! We're excited for this opportunity to engage more thought leaders and decision makers in one of our launch territories and are constantly leveraging every outlet we have to scale Wand.
A giant THANK YOU again to all of our Investors as well as campaign supporters. We are so thankful to welcome new investors to the team and as always, remain grateful to those who have been backing our project since launch. There's no time like the present- Great things are happening for Wand, and if you haven't already, invest today and join in our success!
Have a wonderful Tuesday.

Hello! Recently, a change was made to the Wand offering. Here's an excerpt describing the specifics of the change:
Updated with full 2018 financial statements and financial information and an adjusted maximum funding goal.
When live offerings undergo changes like these on StartEngine, the SEC requires that certain investments be reconfirmed. If your investment requires reconfirmation, you will be contacted by StartEngine via email with further instructions.
Happy Tuesday to our incredible investors and supporters! We hope everyone is having a great start to their week. We wanted to follow-up regarding 2 awesome updates today.
Firstly, Our Cleaner On-boarding is LIVE! We are very excited to have this process automated and integrated into our platform to make becoming a cleaning professional on Wand easier than ever! Before yesterday, we'd been taking and sifting applications manually and given our intentions to scale aggressively through 2019, having our on-boarding be automated as it is now will enable us to continue to hire the service providers we know we need to meet our massive demand! If you or anyone you know would like to be among our first providers, check out the process HERE.
We are launching in Denver initially per our initial strategy but intend to expand rapidly this year and are pre-approving providers in a number of major cities!
Second, a short while ago you should have received a notice from StartEngine that we are doing our 2nd dispersal! We are immensely excited and thankful for the resources gained through this campaign that we will be taking advantage of after this second withdrawal in order to have working capital to cover a number of launch expenses on our horizon including marketing, insurance, platform hosting, and background checking providers to name a few of our action items!
Again, we are in such an optimal position to begin taking on these new challenges thanks to the investors and supporters we've accumulated through this campaign which includes you!
THANK YOU
...as always and remember that our success is yours as we move forward and prepare to introduce the world at large to Wand! Our campaign is LIVE and if you haven't already, be sure to spread the word so we can maximize our success during this time!

Hello All! It's been a very productive lead into Spring for our growing team at Wand. We want to start as always by saying a huge Thank You to you, our supporters. Our progress is in direct relation to the incredible response we've received since launching this campaign! Being the beginning of spring, we thought it'd be a great time to send out another progress update to what we've been up to as we grow even closer to our launch.
Quote Spotlight: "We’re ecstatic for the opportunity to partner with Wand, at the core, their entire team is both innovative and game-changing: now venturing into new geographic markets that embrace the rapidity of change in technology, ready to make waves in the residential cleaning market. It’s a great time and place for both of our teams to bring new digital ideas to market, igniting their app’s growth." -Michael Gaizutis, Founder and CXO, RNO1
We'll wrap this announcement by once again taking the opportunity to say THANK YOU to our incredible investors and supporters. Our campaign is live so we can continue to give everyone the chance to invest and raise working capital to continue our aggressive growth through 2019.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out and if you couldn’t make it, worry not-Our 1 Million Cups Presentation in STL is available on YouTube HERE and our slide deck for last night’s venture cafe gathering can be found on our Facebook page.
A short while ago, you should have received a notice from StartEngine that we have extended our campaign by an additional 60 days! Our recent string of demos and presentations has created a lot of buzz for Wand in our communities and additionally we’ll be expanding our marketing efforts in our phase 2 cities over the next few weeks. In order to take advantage of this new exposure and maximize this round of funding we put in word with StartEngine to keep our portal live for another term to give everyone the opportunity to invest!
We’ve been very vocal about how pleased we are with the success of this campaign and how fortunate we are to be able to build such an amazing community around our project and we couldn’t be more excited to be extending our timeline in order to continue to grow this community and exceed our initial funding ambition!THANK YOU.
We can never say it enough. Wand is so pleased to have you on the team and we are consistently amazed at the traction we have continue to receive much in thanks to your continued support. Be sure to share the good news so we can continue to exceed our current pace and if you haven't already, there's no time like the present to join the team and invest in Wand!Wishing you our very best and a phenomenal February,

We are very thrilled to announce this engagement and work with ITEN's entrepreneurial resources & partners below to further accelerate our growth and maximize our success!
This engagement is the first of a handful of exciting announcements we will have top of the New Year.
We have continued to see great traction this week and could not be more thankful to our supporters for helping us reach this point so quickly. We're looking to peak our momentum, so if you haven't already, please share our StartEngine Campaign and join us in being proud of this progress!

Team Wand,
Quick note of appreciation. We saw great campaign momentum over the weekend!
Thank you to everyone who's taken the time to spread our campaigns to their network. Our team is excited for the next week. We're wrapping up 2018 and can't wait to share new announcements we have on the horizon for 2019. Full 2018 recap later this month but a few immediate things to note before we wrap up December.
On Thursday, we will be participating in StartEngine's December Demo Day! We will follow-up with additional details later in the week and the exact time to tune in to catch our live-stream.
After the new year, members of the WAND Team will be attending a variety of events in the Midwest region. Our goal through this series of strategic appearances is to further promote our project and raise awareness around our campaign leading up to our much anticipated launch date next year. Stay tuned for details, investors and campaign followers will be the first to receive updates. We can confirm the majority of engagements will be taking place in our home territories first, Denver and St. Louis. Expansion plans to follow.
With our MVP complete and our current raise still just getting started, we are finalizing an agreement with a development team to assist us in polishing our product. We plan to make a great first impression when we launch in Denver next year and this will give us the chance to update our app before we launch in our 6 phase two cities following Denver.
Recently, we were mentioned in World News! If you are interested in reading the press article detailing our platform, check it out here.
THANK YOU
Once again, THANK YOU, to all of our amazing investors and supporters. If you haven't done so already, a campaign share goes a long way and we still have over 50 days in our campaign to accept investments. Please continue to spread the positive word so everyone can Meet Wand.
We are going to start highlighting supportive comments from individuals on a weekly basis. Please don't hesitate to embrace our campaign comments section and/or our social channels with any questions/comments you might have.

Thankful to announce that we've just surpassed $10,000 in investments as of this 3rd day of our public raise. Once again, we'd like to take this milestone as an opportunity to show our appreciation for everyone who has invested already and stress that our success is yours.
If you haven't already, please share this campaign with your networks to further accelerate the progress. We are very fortunate to be seeing these above average results so early on in our campaign and want to close by noting that the team here at Wand is working everyday to bring above average results not only to this round of funding but to our project as a whole and we're very happy to have many of you on that team already.
Thank you again.
