About Us
We're on a mission to connect people who need help with skilled helpers in their community. Our platform makes it easy to find reliable assistance for everyday tasks and specialized services.
Our Name & Origin
The name "PoomAt" is inspired by the Korean concept of "품앗이" (pronounced "poom-ah-shi").
품앗이 (Poomat): A Korean Tradition
"품앗이" is a beautiful Korean cultural tradition that dates back centuries. It represents a community-based system where neighbors would exchange labor and help each other, particularly during labor-intensive seasons like harvests.
The word itself combines "품" (poom), meaning "labor" or "effort," and "앗이" (at-i), which implies exchange or reciprocity. This concept embodies the spirit of mutual aid, cooperation, and community support.
At PoomAt, we've embraced this philosophy for the digital age. Just as traditional communities shared their skills and time to help neighbors, our platform enables people to connect with skilled helpers in their modern communities, fostering the same spirit of cooperation and support.
