Easing the process of connecting homeowners with contractors, Austin’s Renovate Simply raised a seed funding round for an undisclosed amount from Digitech Venture Capital Fund, Inc. (Digitech), Central Texas Angel Network (CTAN) and a number of angel investors today. 

Renovate Simply’s founder, Will Mitchell, a former licensed contractor, identified a gap in the market by noticing that similar websites introducing clients with contractors failed to provide a home project’s estimated cost. Renovate Simply ties both a projected realistic budget (using a proprietary estimator tool) with a trusted contractor.

“Finding a good reliable contractor is a frustrating process,” Mitchell said in a statement. “Our platform allows for homeowners to find a contractor uniquely qualified and excited about their project, which benefits everyone involved."

The tech startup will continue to focus on growing in Austin and expansions throughout Texas and nationally.

Renovate Simply currently offers its platform via a smartphone app on the iOS platform or online through its web-based platform.
