Marcela Sapone and Jessica Beck were sick of it. Every time they came home from work or an activity there was a to-do list waiting for them. As two very young and successful, but also busy professionals, they realized there might be a way to solve the problem of the pesky to-do list. They started a company that sends a butler to your home every week to do your chores that you either do not have enough time, or simply don’t want to do. While other people have tried to create a service like this, no one has been able to do it nearly as effectively. The fact that the butlers can do anything from cleaning and dry-cleaning to going and getting groceries, is what makes this such an innovative idea. The service is available in five different cities in the US. I love the simple idea of this company because it fixes so many problems that everyone deals with in one company. I think the biggest thing to be learned from these young entrepreneurs is that not only can you innovate to fix small problems, but that there are even solutions for the bigger problems everyone experiences.

Whoah! Sign me up! It would be cool to see if this idea took off throughout the whole country, instead of just 5 cities. Who couldn’t use a butler every once in a while?! I agree with your statement, there are solutions to even large problems that we all experience. Sometimes I will be too busy to do simple chores and I’ll think to myself “Man…wouldn’t it be nice if I could just call someone and have them take care of this problem for me!”…To me it seemed like a silly idea at the time, but now seeing it come to life successfully, I feel like if someone really needs a chore done that they can’t get to, Hello Alfred is the perfect go to.
