“鶹ý has always been a company unafraid to play in multiple marketplaces at once. Since its inception, launching in five different markets at once, the company has looked for novel approaches to accelerate growth for its suite of home care services. Today, 鶹ý announced another novel move to expand its offering to the wider “care” market — this time in the FinTech space.”
“Toronto's 鶹ý, the company behind the care matchmaking services Sitter.com, Housekeeper.com, PetSitter.com, ElderCare.com, and HouseSitter.com, announced today that it has raised an additional $2.5 million in equity and debt financing in a second close of its seed round.”
“John Philip Green was fed up. The founder of Toronto’s 鶹ý had raised a significant seed round last year from prominent investors in the U.S. and Canada. But it wasn’t easy.”
