One of the technology byproducts of the COVID-19 pandemic is that it has raised the game for businesses to have better digital tools in place to interface with customers, and their own work, to get things done. Today, a company called Jobber, which has built a platform doing just that for a particular segment of the market home services professionals is announcing a round of funding as it finds its business growing.
The Canadian startup has picked up $60 million in funding. The equity round is being led by Summit Partners, with participation from previous backers OMERS Ventures and Version One Ventures, and new investors Tech Pioneers Fund.
