The Million-Dollar Lawn Service
January 16, 2015
Mowing your own lawn is so 2014. LawnStarter, an app that allows consumers to order up a lawn service through a network of contractors, announced today it raised $1M from angels and Vayner RSE, a NYC venture firm. The startup, founded by Ryan Farley and Steve Corcoran, above, and operating out of the Austin-based Techstars program, launched and tested the service in the DC market last year. It did so well that it raised the seed round to expand throughout the region, and Orlando and Austin, where the company had also been testing out the service. The app has an instant quote tool, which uses public real estate data to calculate accurate prices.
