Jobber: valuation, funding & revenue

Overview

Jobber makes software for home service businesses: landscapers, cleaners, plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, painters and the many small trades that keep houses running. The product handles quoting, scheduling, dispatch, invoicing, payments and customer communication. For a five-person landscaping company, it's often the first proper business system they've ever used.

Sam Pillar and Forrest Zeisler started Jobber in Edmonton in 2011. It's one of the clearest examples of a large Canadian software company built outside Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal, and it has stayed headquartered in Edmonton while opening a second office in Toronto.

Funding history

The round on public record is a US$100 million Series D in February 2023, led by General Atlantic, with existing investors Summit Partners, Version One Ventures and Tech Pioneers Fund. A General Atlantic managing director joined Jobber's board. The company said it would put the money into research and development, sales and marketing, and winning new customers.

Timing matters here. February 2023 was one of the toughest periods for venture funding in a decade. Many software companies couldn't raise at all, or had to accept lower valuations. Raising US$100 million then, led by a large growth investor, suggests Jobber's numbers were strong. The valuation wasn't disclosed.

Data trackers put Jobber's total funding at somewhere between roughly US$180 million and US$190 million over several rounds. They disagree with each other, largely because of currency conversions and how they count early rounds, so we haven't listed a single total.

Revenue: what's public

Jobber hasn't published its revenue or ARR. Estimates from third-party sites vary widely, so we don't repeat them. If you need a working figure, the most reliable approach is to combine headcount, published pricing tiers and customer counts the company has mentioned in announcements. Our guide on estimating private company revenue walks through that method.

Why Jobber is worth studying

Home services is a huge, fragmented market made up mostly of very small, owner-run businesses. That makes it hard to sell into. Customers are price-sensitive and often not very technical. Jobber's growth shows that vertical software built specifically for that kind of customer can reach real scale.

The same market is attractive to private equity and search funds buying service businesses directly. Firms rolling up HVAC, plumbing or landscaping companies often find their acquisitions already run on tools like Jobber. See our guides on search fund sourcing and building a comps list.

What this means if you're…

Selling to Jobber: a growth-equity-backed software company spending on R&D and go-to-market buys developer tools, data infrastructure, marketing technology and payments partnerships.

Building for the trades: Jobber's app marketplace and integrations are a route to a large base of small service businesses.

Buying service businesses: the software your targets already run on can tell you a lot about how well they're managed.
