* Location: 1110 Market St #502, Chattanooga, with office locations in Atlanta and Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

* History: Bellhop - originally named Campus Bellhop - was founded by Cam Doody and Stephen Vlahos in the summer of 2011 as a simple solution for college students looking for help moving into and out of their dorms. The founders' initial goal was to schedule 30 to 40 moves during Auburn University's three-day freshman orientation weekend, but ultimately they completed 325. In 2013, the founders connected with the Lamp Post Group, a venture-capital firm based in Chattanooga. After receiving seed capital, the company expanded its services to include customers of all ages, with homes of varying sizes. To keep up with demand, it developed the nation's first tech-enabled moving platform, which not only streamlines the move-day process, but also ensures customers are matched with the most qualified movers and drivers in their area.

* Products: Bellhop offers labor only, local, and long-distance moving. Customers can purchase their packing supplies at bellhop.com. In addition to residential and commercial relocation, the company offers last-mile delivery services through partnerships across the nation.

* Mission: Bellhop aims to take the stress out of moving and help people make a house their home, using technology to create a friendly, efficient, and professional experience.
