Broccoli raises $52M to automate calls and bookings for home-services firms
What's the deal? Broccoli, a San Francisco-based AI platform for home-services businesses, has raised $52 million in Series A and Series B financing. Khosla Ventures led the rounds, with participation from Y Combinator and Operator Partners.
What's the endgame? Co-founded by chief executive officer AJ Jain and chief technology officer Adi Ketkar, Broccoli builds AI tools for firms across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, garage door, pest control, roofing, and property care. The platform answers calls, books appointments, gathers home details, follows up on estimates, and renews memberships.
By the numbers: Broccoli serves more than 1,500 businesses, has handled over 10 million customer conversations, and booked 2.5 million service and sales appointments.
What's next? The company plans to use the funds to accelerate hiring and expand its AI capabilities across the customer journey.
The signal: Investors are backing AI that targets the unglamorous back office of trades businesses — scheduling, customer service, and follow-ups — where repetitive tasks make automation an easy sell.
