Workiz raises $40 million Series C to innovate home service management
Founded by veteran locksmiths, the Israeli startup's platform is used by home service companies to plan and keep track of jobs, schedules and payments
Workiz, which has developed a home services team management platform, announced on Wednesday that it has secured a $40 million Series C investment led by Lead Edge Capital joined by G squared and La Maison and followed by existing investors New Era, Magenta Venture Partners and Maor Investments. Lead Edge has invested in some of the world’s most successful technology companies, including Alibaba, Asana, Spotify, and Toast.
Many home service professionals still use antiquated business management methods - such as pen and paper or Excel spreadsheets - to handle everything from customer scheduling to invoicing and follow-ups. Frustrated by the difficulty of efficiently managing and growing the business side of their locksmith company, Idan Kadosh, and Erez Marom partnered with CTO Saar Kohanovitch in 2015 to launch an all-in-one service management platform that would allow them to focus solely on what they loved while outsourcing back-office operations.
