New York-based Probook secured $34 million in Series A funding led by a16z to build an artificial intelligence operating system for home service businesses. The company previously raised $6 million in seed funding from Sequoia.

Probook is developing software to streamline operations for contractors and home service providers. The company was founded by George Eliadis, 24, who spent six summers pressure washing houses in upstate New York with his father before turning to software. The Series A round positions Probook to expand its platform, which targets a fragmented market of small and mid-sized home service businesses that currently rely on manual processes and disparate tools. Home services remain largely underserved by modern software solutions despite the sector's size and growth. With backing from prominent venture firms including a16z and Sequoia, Probook joins a growing wave of startups applying AI to traditionally offline industries. The company's focus on automation and operational efficiency addresses persistent pain points for electricians, plumbers, HVAC contractors, and similar trades.
