About Urban Company

Urban Company is a technology platform offering customers a variety of services at home. Customers use our platform to book services such as beauty treatments, haircuts, massage therapy, cleaning, plumbing, carpentry, appliance repair, painting, and more—all delivered in the comfort of their home and at a time of their choosing. We promise our customers a high-quality, standardized, and reliable service experience.

To fulfill this promise, we work closely with our hand-picked service partners, enabling them with technology, training, products, tools, financing, insurance, and brand support to help them succeed.

Urban Company started out as UrbanClap in November 2014, when its founders realized that the home services industry was largely unorganized, fragmented, and offline. Customers found it difficult to access quality services in a convenient manner, and service professionals struggled due to reliance on multiple middlemen. The founders launched Urban Company to disrupt the industry with a focus on three key principles:

- Customer Love: Build a platform that offers truly delightful and differentiated services.
- Partner Empowerment: Build a deep, full-stack partnership with service partners to improve their earnings and livelihoods.
- Technology First: Bring innovation and technology to an age-old industry.
