Housekeep operates a booking platform for professional home cleaners, offering online scheduling and fixed pricing.

Housekeep has raised $1m in investment three months after launching its home cleaning booking platform. The funding round was led by Pentland Group, with participation from several prominent technology angels and entrepreneurs. The company plans to use the fresh capital to support its rapid growth and scale operations.

Founded by Avin Rabheru, the business offers a fully-managed cleaning service using technology to streamline booking, pricing, and payments. The latest injection of capital brings backing from experienced investors including John Hewett, Dharmash Mistry, Paul Hewett, Brett Akker, and Justin Peters.


From the founder

"The home cleaning industry is very antiquated, with no provider offering both strong customer service and top quality cleaning. We took time to understand exactly what customers want and, to be totally sure, I've cleaned nearly 100 homes myself in the 'housekeeper' role! That experience was incredibly valuable and has guided how we recruit, train and supervise our housekeepers. We have had fantastic customer feedback so far, but know that scaling this high quality will be the key to building a great business. We are delighted to have such a strong investor group involved and they know we will be drawing on their expertise to help us grow the business rapidly."
