Juggling academics, part-time jobs, and endless errands can feel like a constant uphill battle for Filipino college students. But what if there was a platform that connects busy students with reliable helpers for those everyday tasks and odd jobs that always seem to fall through the cracks?
Enter Serbiz, a DLSU-led student startup partnering with Globe Telecom to launch an innovative web request-based platform specifically designed for the needs of Filipino students.
The “Dorm Life Hustle” is Real. Serbiz founders, Iyana Argañoza (CEO), Aliexandra Heart Po (COO), and Alfonso Lima (CTO), know the struggle firsthand. As students themselves, they witnessed the constant battle between academic demands and the need to manage everyday tasks like laundry, errands, and even quick fix-ups around the dorm. This often leads to stress, procrastination, and a feeling of constant “not enough time.”
Unlocking Hidden Talent and Potential. Serbiz sees an opportunity in this challenge. Thousands of students across the Philippines possess valuable skills and are eager to earn flexible income. However, they often lack a platform to connect with the specific, small-scale, and often time-sensitive needs of their peers.
Bridging the Gap. This is where Serbiz steps in. It acts as a bridge between students who need help (“Listers”) and eager helpers (“Hustlers”), offering a micro-task marketplace tailored to the unique needs of the Filipino student community. Whether it’s laundry pick-up, grocery delivery, furniture assembly, or even research assistance, Serbiz allows Listers to easily find reliable help, while Hustlers can earn quick cash on their own terms.
Key Differentiators. Unlike other gig platforms, Serbiz focuses specifically on Filipino student needs and dorms, creating a targeted and familiar environment.It caters to the specific needs of students with short errands and small tasks, making it easy to get help with the everyday hustle. Serbiz closely stays in touch with different student bodies to drive organic growth and engagement, creating a supportive ecosystem. The platform also prioritizes user safety with features like dispute resolution, no-risk payment for Listers, and active admin involvement.
