Every big thing starts small.
Werkara is a young startup from Basel with a simple ambition: to make everyday life easier. We connect people who need a hand with local freelancers and small businesses — so that finding help takes minutes, not days.
We can visit other planets — yet finding someone for a simple task still takes too much time.
How it started
With a stain on the floor. One of us made it — and then spent an entire day trying to find someone who could fix it. Calls that went nowhere, forms that nobody answered, recommendations of friends of friends. A whole day, for one small task.
Somewhere between the third phone call and the fifth website, the thought landed: it should not be like this. Finding honest, skilled help for everyday life should be as easy as ordering a taxi. That evening, Werkara started.
Who we are & what we stand for
An experienced team
People at Werkara bring many years of experience in IT, marketing and AI from big international companies. Now we're bringing that expertise into day-by-day life.
Our mission
To make inconvenient infrastructure duties simple and fast — and to support local businesses and freelancers with easier access to clients.
Transparent, always
We put service and integrity on top. What we do, why we do it and what it costs is always open — no small print, no surprises.
No monetization — for now
We do not plan monetization at the first stages of the project. We are testing the model, and getting it right matters more than earning from it.
Open to your support
We are open to any support from anyone — feedback, ideas, partnerships, a kind word. Write to us at [email protected].
Proudly Swiss AI
We use Apertus, the local Swiss AI, as part of the project — and we're very proud to build with technology made in Switzerland.
