Thumbtack — Valuation, Funding & Investors

Thumbtack is an online home services marketplace that lets homeowners compare prices, read reviews and hire local professionals directly through its website and app, covering projects from home improvement to pet services. Founded in 2008 in San Francisco by Marco Zappacosta, Jeremy Tunnell, Jonathan Swanson and Sander Daniels, it grew out of frustration with the lack of seller verification and reviews on platforms like Craigslist.

As of June 2025, about 300,000 local professionals were active on the platform, and Thumbtack earned $400 million in revenue in its 2024 fiscal year. In January 2025, it became one of the first app integrations into ChatGPT, partnering with OpenAI as an early research partner for its Operator agentic AI tool.
