Slingshot Raises $2.4M Seed Round to Improve Customer Engagement and Sales Conversion for Home Services Providers Through 24/7 Omni-Channel Support
Summary
OREM, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Slingshot, the customer engagement platform for home services providers, announced it has closed a $2.4M seed round led by RET Ventures. “One of the primary inhibitors to closing a sale in the home services industry is simply the inability for a potential customer to get a live human on the phone,” said Taylor Olson, CEO for Slingshot. “We were impressed with the traction Slingshot was able to gain in the highly fragmented home services provider market,” says John Helm, Managing Director of RET Ventures. “We believe that an omni-channel customer service platform capable of closing leads is attractive to many small businesses, giving Slingshot a wide range of possible verticals to target. RET Ventures works with high quality entrepreneurs to rapidly scale their businesses by leveraging the knowledge and expertise of its team and limited partners, who own close to one million units.
