Take Mi Home was born during a time when the world was at a standstill – confused and in need of something new. During the COVID pandemic, on a video call, a simple yet powerful need emerged: the desire to create something different, useful, and deeply human. That’s when the idea of a platform that would bring beauty and wellness services directly to people’s homes – easily and accessibly – came to life.
The inspiration for the name also came from a song –Take Me Home – with a wordplay twist and a strong connection to Milan, the city where it all began. We quickly realized this wasn’t just about providing services. It was about reshaping habits, offering comfort to those short on time, people with mobility challenges, expectant mothers, or anyone needing self-care but struggling to fit it all in.
The first challenges (and the ones that still come up)
Like any project, the first major obstacle came when we actually started working on the ground. You realize your idea needs to evolve, the numbers don’t always add up as you hoped, and no one truly prepares you for how hard it is to turn an intuition into a sustainable business. The frustration is real, especially when your efforts don’t immediately pay off.
There are moments when everything is questioned. And it’s exactly in those moments that having the right people around you becomes crucial—people who genuinely support you, even when things don’t go as planned. Our team has grown through those times, supporting each other, complementing each other’s skills, and finding strength in sharing the journey.
A technology that brings wellness anywhere
Today, Take Mi Home is a platform that offers at-home beauty and wellness services, 7 days a week, from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. We didn’t invent anything new – we simply looked at an existing market and asked ourselves: “How can we improve this business using technology?” The answer came through passionate work, handling last-minute requests, testing, failing, and finding new solutions every day.
Our work allows great flexibility for professionals, giving them the freedom to choose when and how much to work. At the same time, it gives time and convenience back to users of the platform, offering an accessible, non-exclusive service designed for real life.
A different way of telling the story of entrepreneurship
With our podcast, we want to tell this story authentically – and with a touch of humor. We talk openly about the challenges, the small victories, and the mistakes that taught us more than any manual ever could. We try to keep it “cool,” but never cliché. The truth is, every day in a start-up is a question mark, and it takes perseverance, enthusiasm, and a healthy dose of humility.
Take Mi Home is an idea that grows with the people who live it. Each episode of our podcast is a way to share, reflect, and maybe inspire someone thinking about starting something of their own.
If you’re interested in innovation, women’s entrepreneurship, or simply want to hear a real story, our podcast is waiting for you.
Take Mi Home isn’t just a platform – it’s a vision. And this is only the beginning.
