Handy is a home services marketplace on a mission to disrupt the $400B home
services market by seamlessly delivering every service to every home. Handy
has fundamentally changed the way the world buys home services by making it as
easy to buy a service online as it is to buy a product. We connect customers
to vetted, independent local professionals at the tap of a button, while
providing upfront pricing, customer choice in scheduling (no more pesky 4 hour
windows), cashless payments and a service guarantee. Started in 2012 by Oisin
Hanrahan & Umang Dua, Handy has scaled to offer cleaning, installation and
assembly services across the US, Canada and the UK. Handy offers its services
both direct-to-consumer via our website and mobile apps and through
partnerships with some of the largest retailers in the world, including
Wayfair, Walmart, Lowes, Costco and more. As of 2019, Handy is an
independently operated subsidiary of ANGI Homeservices (Nasdaq: ANGI), the
world’s largest home services marketplace including brands like HomeAdvisor
and Angie’s List. This milestone is allowing us to expand to hundreds of more
home services to bring the Handy experience to millions of more customers and
professionals. **The Opportunity**
