Gaining Momentum

Azcalun Inc. is a verified Filipino startup behind the 'Kazam' platform, connecting homeowners with domestic helpers. External search confirms the project has received government funding (DOST-PCIEERD) and accelerator support (IdeaSpace), validating its legitimacy and early traction ('thousands' of users, not 'most people' as claimed). However, the submission quality was extremely poor, containing hyperbolic claims ('audience reach: everyone') and vague financial data ('marketcap: 2500000', likely referring to authorized capital in PHP). While the real-world utility is high for the local market, the project's scale is currently small compared to global standards.

Description

Azcalun was formed by Cris Azaña, Jumbz Lucero, and Ron Castro to celebrate 20 years in the workforce. It fulfills their long-held vision of working together to enhance the quality of their fellow Filipinos’ lives by using technology to solve real-world problems. Azcalun’s first project is kazam, an online service to connect Homeowners with Kasambahays performing household roles such as child care, senior care, cook, maid, family driver, houseboy, and store assistant. We built the kazam platform because we believe that: Kasambahays need a reliable digital platform to properly advertise their skills and expertise and be able to access opportunities, free of charge. Homeowners need a simple, safe, and secure way to communicate with prospective Kasambahays.
