Mow lawns in the north or the west?

Mowie is launching in 58 suburbs this spring, in two clusters: around Mill Park in the north, and the Wyndham corridor in the west. Every mower who joins by 31 December 2026 pays 0% commission for 3 months from their first paid job, then 10% + GST* locked until 31 December 2027, and keeps a Founding badge on their profile for good.

What Mowie is

A local lawn mowing marketplace. Homeowners list their lawn - we measure it from the aerial so you know the area, the edges and the access before you bid. Local mowers each quote the job privately from their phone - nobody sees anyone else's price. The customer hires one, the mower does the job and sends a photo, the customer approves, and Stripe pays the mower about two business days later.

πŸ“

Quote from the truck

Measured lawn area, edge metres, grass height, gate width, dog, slope and photos - on every listing. No driving to quote.

⚑

Bid in 15 seconds

Every job in your suburbs is emailed to you the moment it's listed. Tap the suggested price or set your own, pick your earliest day, send.

πŸ“Έ

Photo, then paid

Mark done with a photo. The customer approves (or it auto-approves in 48h) and Stripe pays your bank about two business days later.

πŸ”

Build a round

Offer a customer a regular spot in the app and your week groups by day, so Tuesday stays Tuesday. Recurring customers are yours.

What founding partners get

  • βœ“
    0% commission for 3 months on every job you win through Mowie, counted from your first paid job - not from the day you sign up, so nothing burns while you wait for work. Card processing (1.7% + 30c) is the only cost.
  • βœ“
    Your rate is locked, in writing. After the free months you pay 10% + GST*, and that rate can't go up for you before 31 December 2027 whatever new mowers are charged. It's in the vendor terms.
  • βœ“
    Founding mower badge on your profile and every bid, for good - customers see you were here first.
  • βœ“
    First look at every listing in 58 launch suburbs while the mower list is short.
  • βœ“
    A direct line to the founder. What you tell us in the first months shapes what we build.
  • βœ“
    Your customers stay yours. Regulars belong to you; we don't charge on customers you bring.

What we ask

  • Β·
    An ABN (sole traders are fine - free in 15 minutes) and a Stripe payout account (ID check, 5 minutes).
  • Β·
    Answer bids within a few hours and turn up when you say you will. Rain delays are fine - silence isn't.
  • Β·
    A photo on every job. It's what gets you paid, and it builds your profile.
  • Β·
    A few honest words of feedback when we ask.

Questions mowers ask

No. Commission applies only to jobs you win through Mowie. Your existing round is yours and stays off the platform unless you want it on for the payments and photo trail.
The day your first Mowie job is paid. Sign up in October, get your first job in December, and your 3 months run from December. Every founding period ends by 31 March 2027 at the latest.
10% + GST on paid Mowie jobs - on an $110 mow that's $11 - and for founding partners that rate is locked until 31 December 2027, whatever we charge mowers who join later. Nothing to join, nothing to bid, ever. The Founding badge stays.
Not to join. Upload a certificate of currency any time and you get an Insured badge, which wins more bids. We recommend it.
Stripe Express, the same payouts system Uber and Airbnb use in Australia. ID and bank details are verified by Stripe - Mowie never sees them. Money lands ~2 business days after the customer approves the photo.
Always. We show a suggested bid built from the measured lawn and what's winning nearby; you bid what you like.
Approval is automatic after 48 hours if they go quiet. If they raise an issue you get first go at fixing it, and Mowie reviews within 24 hours. Payment isn't released until it's sorted, but you're never left waiting on silence.
