Operations management software – Jobber – for small home service businesses like HVAC, lawn care, plumbing, residential cleaning, painting, and more has grabbed $100 million in a Series D funding. Investor General Atlantic led the round, which has backed numerous tech unicorns and IPOs, such as Mobileye.
The investment round also includes participation from Jobber’s existing investors Summit Partners that led Jobber’s $60 million funding early in 2021 and other startups such as Red Points, Version One Ventures, and Tech Pioneers Fund. The investment is anticipated to support its continued growth through investments in R&D, sales and marketing, and new customer acquisition.
“Although we’re proud of our growth to date, the real opportunity lies ahead of us,” said Shawn Cadeau, Chief Revenue Officer at Jobber. “There are more than 6.2 million home service businesses in North America alone delivering more than $600 billion in services each year that can benefit greatly from using Jobber.”
Sam Pillar, CEO and co-founder of Jobber said, “We’re committed to doing everything we can to help them transform the way they deliver their services and operate their companies. We’re thrilled to partner with General Atlantic as we continue to pursue our mission of helping the people in small businesses be successful, and further entrench our leadership position in this important and growing small business category.”
In addition to the investment, Aaron Goldman, the Managing Director and Head of Enterprise Technology Investing at General Atlantic, has joined Jobber as one of the Board of Directors.
Mr. Goldman commented, “With a platform that is purpose-built for the home service category, Jobber has an opportunity to continue deepening its value as the platform of choice with its customers. We are pleased to partner with Sam and the Jobber leadership team as they focus on strategic growth and continued product expansion.”
