In line with the growing consolidation in related sectors among start-ups, Housejoy, a leading home services provider, has bought MyWash, an on-demand dry cleaning and laundry company for an undisclosed amount.
The core team of MyWash will join Housejoy, which is looking to scale to 10,000 services per day over the next year for the laundry vertical.
The combination of Housejoy’s own laundry operations with MyWash increases the scaling potential of the combined entity. Launched in January 2015, Housejoy provides on-demand residential services ranging from maintenance and home repairs to plumbing, electrical services, home cleaning and computer repairs.
It also offers beauty and in-house bridal make-up services and is expanding its services portfolio.
Housejoy is present in 13 cities and has raised $4 million in Series A from Matrix Partners and $22 million in Series B led by Amazon and including others such as Vertex Ventures, Qualcomm and Ru-Net Technology Partners.
