Startup Story with Adam Pittenger, Moved
Moving can be stressful—there's an enormous amount of coordination and planning involved, and most people don't do it often, so they don't know what to expect. Enter Moved, a moving concierge service that coordinates all the aspects of your move.
Having moved 9 times in the past 8 years, Adam Pittenger (Founder/CEO) understands the painful experience of moving. After coming up with the idea to build software to help people who are moving, Adam was accepted into an an accelerator called AngelPad, solely with a concept. The product, which effectively started out with Adam texting his friends (who were in the process of moving) quotes and screenshots via text messages, is now a mobile and web platform that enables users to get all their tasks done in one place, alongside a human expert. Pittenger also shared the importance of listening to you customers—he explains that “there is no bigger value-added activity you can do, particularly at an early stage, other than to talk to your customers.”
Adam breaks down the process of going from idea to building a product that users will love. Here is his Startup Story.
