About the company

Please Assist Me provides a resident amenity platform for multifamily properties by partnering with apartment buildings and property managers to offer a mobile app connected to a on-site team of personal assistants. Residents use the app to request services like cleaning, laundry, errands, grocery shopping, and mail management, performed by W-2 assistants, while property managers get tailored package management to reduce staff workload. The service centers on delivering a centralized, on-site concierge experience within the building instead of relying on multiple third-party apps. Its goal is to grow adoption across more buildings and scale partnerships, continuously improving the technology and operations to support residents' work-life balance.

What believers are saying

  • Preqin and Caplight show a June 16, 2026 seed round, signaling active investor support.
  • Please Assist Me's website touts no additional cost to buildings, easing sales conversations.
  • Google Play shows an August 23, 2026 app update, indicating ongoing product maintenance.

What critics are saying

  • June 2026 funding totaled only $545,000, leaving expansion dependent on tiny reserves.
  • Glassdoor reviews cite chaotic, unorganized operations, risking service inconsistency and tenant churn.
  • Any privacy incident involving body cameras or in-home staff could destroy property-manager trust.

What makes Please Assist Me unique

  • W-2 assistants with body cameras create trust in residents' homes, unlike gig marketplaces.
  • Apartment partnerships bundle cleaning, errands, laundry, and package management into one resident amenity.
  • June 2026 seed backing from Ganas Ventures and Align Impact validates the model.
