The problem, part one
One Lead Fee. Two Losers.
Legacy platforms charge pros $15–$75 per lead, win or lose — and sell the same homeowner to 4–6 of them at once.
What the lead fee buys today$15–$75per lead, paid before any work exists
Homeowner's number sold to strangers
Pros race 5 competitors to a phone call
Fee rolls into every quote
Market grades the model: ANGI at 0.54x revenue
What it costs on AllBetter$0pros bid free; a flat 15% only on completed, approved work
Number hidden until the homeowner hires
Pros bid only on jobs they want
Platform earns only when work completes
Escrow protects both sides
The problem, part two
Roll-Ups Built a Price Umbrella.
KKR owns Neighborly. Roto-Rooter, ARS, Apex — local operators consolidated behind national brands, then priced 30–60% above local independents for the same work.
Every quiet markup is a customer waiting for an alternative.
Why now
Three Forces, One Opening.
Incumbents cannot publish prices without breaking their own economics. We already do.
The solution
Bids. Escrow. Published Prices.
Pros come to youPost free, Stripe-verified pros compete with binding bids.
Money that cannot ghostEscrow holds funds until the customer approves the work.
Prices in the openEvery market stat published — the growth engine incumbents can't copy.
41 seconds of real product capture. No actors, no renders.
The product
Three Apps. One Liquidity Pool.
HomeFixDemand — homeowners, landlords, PMs
JobProSupply — pros and tradespeople
FieldOperations — service businesses
How it works
From Post to Paid — Escrow in the Middle.
Post
60 seconds, free, photos and a zip. Phone number stays hidden.
Bids land
First bid in ~10 minutes in top metros; median 3 competing bids per job.
Escrow releases
Stripe holds the money until the customer approves the finished work.
The platform gets paid only when both sides got what they came for.
The data moat
22,582 Bids. Published.
Median high-vs-low spread on the same job, by trade — the information asymmetry this marketplace closes.
Angi cannot publish this without explaining what the lead fee bought.
Market
Digitizing and Consolidating at the Same Time.
Lead-gen is repricedThe public market grades the model: ANGI near 0.54x revenue.
Roll-ups need opacityThe 30–60% franchise premium only survives while customers can't see it.
The transparent seat is emptyNeither player can take it without destroying its own economics.
Positioning
The Top-Right Is Unoccupied.
