ETOBICOKE, Ontario - s4story -- What began as a car detailing side hustle in a Toronto parking lot has now scaled into one of North America's fastest-growing service marketplaces. Panda Hub, a tech-enabled platform founded by two young immigrant entrepreneurs, has grown 1,400% in the last year alone, crossing over 50,000 bookings and helping more than 1,000 car detailers across the U.S. and Canada earn a reliable monthly income.

Founded during the pandemic by Reza Ahmadi and Abdullah Sharief, Panda Hub started with the simplest of ideas: bring professional car detailing to people's doorsteps. What made it work? A mobile-first experience that lets customers book a vetted car detailer in under two minutes with transparent pricing, live GPS tracking, and Uber-style convenience.

After quietly growing in Canada, Panda Hub entered the U.S. market in late 2023, beginning in Houston, TX, where NBA player Dillon Brooks became a customer and later, the lead investor in the company's oversubscribed $1 million pre-seed round.

Today, Panda Hub's marketplace spans 15 U.S. states and two Canadian provinces, connecting thousands of customers with vetted local pros. In 2024, the platform helped more than 300 individual detailers earn an average of $3,000 CAD/month, many of whom previously struggled to find consistent work.

"Our mission has always been to make professional car care effortless both for customers and for local detailers," said Reza Ahmadi, Panda Hub's co-founder and CEO. "We started by cleaning cars ourselves. Now we're empowering others to run their businesses through our platform."

The company's model reflects a growing shift toward vertical marketplaces software platforms purpose-built for real-world services, disrupting outdated industries with technology, speed, and convenience. With its continued expansion in the U.S., Panda Hub is on track to achieve eight-figure annual revenue by year's end.
