A quick update on Wazo.work.

I launched Wazo because I know how overwhelming it can be to plan an international move for school or work while trying to keep track of documents, deadlines, costs, housing, official information, and advice from ten different places.

Since putting it out publicly, a few things have become clearer.

First, someone paid for Premium.

That was a surreal moment for me. It is one thing to believe a problem matters. It is another thing to see someone decide that the tool you built is worth paying for.

Second, I received direct feedback from a Nigerian user who understood exactly why Wazo exists. She said the tool felt important because it gathers things she would otherwise have to research through endless websites, videos, creators, and group chats.

But she also pointed out a real issue.

She dropped off around the fifth to seventh step because the onboarding felt too long before she reached the outcome she was looking for.

That feedback matters more to me than generic praise.

The lesson is not that people do not need Wazo. The lesson is that a product designed to reduce relocation stress cannot begin by making users feel like they have another long task to complete.

So the next product focus is clear:

Make the path to a first useful move plan shorter, lighter, and easier to return to.

Wazo is still early, but I am learning from real behavior now, not just assumptions.

For anyone here who has moved internationally, I would love to know: what was the one thing you wish you had organized earlier before your move?

    This is a really good example of the right kind of feedback loop. The fact that you didn’t just celebrate the first payment but focused on where users drop off is exactly what turns early traction into something real. For products like this, reducing friction to the first “useful outcome” usually matters more than adding more features.
