Adam, a Czech platform that connects tradespeople with customers, without the hassle of long wait times and confusing price lists, has raised €3M to expand beyond Europe and launch new trades.
After their expansion to 11 European countries, Adam now plans to extend their services beyond Europe and into more construction trades. Brighteye, a European edtech VC, provided the capital.
Adam allows users to book tradespeople online. To date, the company has focused on painting services and apartment renovations. Year-on-year, Adam has served three times the number of projects and has completed more than 15,000.
The new investment will be used to strengthen their position in markets where the service is already successful. Additionally, Adam plans to expand into new cities and countries outside of Europe, broaden its offerings to new trades, and build a development team to enhance automation and further improve the customer experience.
The platform replaces complicated price lists with a simple and transparent online calculator, which immediately shows the customer the estimated job cost and allows them to request the home-improvement service with one click. Adam then connects the customer with a professional available at the desired time and location, and ensures the job is completed successfully.
"Undoubtedly, traditional craftsmanship is in need of modernisation. That said, no one has yet managed to solve all three decisive factors – quality, availability, and price – simultaneously. We decided to tackle this complex situation one trade at a time. Our vision is that one day you will be able to build an entire house through Adam,” commented Adam’s co-founder Roman Sysel.
“We are excited to support Adam’s mission to modernise a traditional industry which has seen no change for decades. While providing their clients with a hassle-free experience, Adam also facilitates continuous training and professional development for the craftsmen, empowering these professionals to expand their services and improve their competitiveness. This not only benefits the craftsmen but also ensures customers receive high-quality services,” said Ben Wirz, Founding Partner at Brighteye.
