Probook, a New York-based startup focused on home services, raised $40 million in funding to develop an AI operating system for plumbing, HVAC, and electrical businesses. The round includes a $34 million Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz and a $6 million seed round led by Sequoia Capital. The company aims to address inefficiencies in the $700 billion home services industry by optimizing dispatch operations, the core of service scheduling and customer experience, according to fortune.com.
Founder George Eliadis, who has firsthand experience pressure washing homes and holds a Wharton degree, explained that existing AI tools for home service operators have been fragmented and costly, often involving multiple vendors without delivering proportional revenue growth. Probook’s approach starts with building an AI-powered scheduling brain to decide technician assignments and job order, then integrates call answering, job data management, and customer communication into a unified platform, Eliadis told fortune.com.
The home services sector has seen a surge in AI tools, but none have effectively tackled dispatch, which Eliadis calls the "brain" of these businesses. Probook’s solution could streamline operations for thousands of small and medium-sized service providers, potentially transforming how the industry manages workforce deployment and customer interactions. The involvement of top-tier investors like Andreessen Horowitz and Sequoia underscores confidence in the startup’s potential to scale within this large market.
Probook’s $40 million funding round was announced on June 23, 2026, positioning the company to expand its AI platform and deepen its penetration into the home services market, which collectively generates $700 billion annually, according to fortune.com.
