Topline Pro – a Generative AI platform enabling home services professionals to manage and scale their businesses online – recently announced $12 million in Series A funding led by Forerunner Ventures (Brian O’Malley) along with support from Bonfire Ventures (Jim Andelman), TMV (Soraya Darabi), BBG Ventures (Susan Lyne).
Topline Pro democratizes the key building blocks for managing and growing a Home Services business, which is uniquely possible through AI advancements. And the platform enables pros, from general contractors to landscapers, to be discovered, trusted and booked — repeatedly. The company’s mission is to ensure more home service business owners succeed by providing all the tools and resources they need so pros can focus more on their craft versus the operational overhead of running a small business.
The company’s intuitive interface empowers pros to efficiently and seamlessly manage and grow businesses by helping them:
1.) Build a thriving online presence through custom-generated content, from personalized social media content to a custom website and online ads, while syncing content to and from local listings
2.) Gain trust and showcasing experience through robust review collection, response, and showcasing capabilities
3.) Get paid online, schedule and book business, and develop meaningful customer relationships
Topline utilizes generative AI across its offerings so business owners can focus more on their craft and doing work in the field instead of sinking time and energy into growing and managing the business in the background. The platform has generated over $180 million across thousands of businesses in nearly all 50 states.
Topline Pro will use the recent funding round to further expand Generative AI capabilities across the existing suite of tools, build out additional product offerings, and expand their team across multiple roles in engineering, product, customer success, marketing and sales.
