Roofr Adds $4.25 Million to Build Out SaaS Platform for Roofers
Roofr announced the company successfully closed of a $4.25 million post-seed round, led by Bullpen Capital, with participation from Avidbank and Crosslink Capital. This investment will bring their total amount raised to $8.25 million since the company was admitted to Y Combinator in 2017. The round comes on the heels of a product evolution that is generating intense interest in the roofing industry.
The focus on a software as a service (SaaS) platform for roofers marks an exciting shift in company strategy, as it builds services for businesses, on top of being a marketplace for consumers to find roofing services. When founder Richard Nelson, a third-generation roofer, set out to create a marketplace, he quickly intuited that an essential piece of the puzzle was missing: simple and powerful SaaS software that roofers need to better understand and serve their customers.
