Ezhome operated as a technology-enabled platform focused on the home services market, specifically offering subscription-based gardening and lawn care. The company was founded in 2014 by Odysseas Tsatalos and Spiros Xanthos and was based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Both founders brought significant entrepreneurial experience to the venture; Tsatalos previously co-founded oDesk (now Upwork), a major player in the remote work marketplace, while Xanthos had sold his prior company, Pattern Insight, to VMware.
The firm targeted homeowners, providing a streamlined process for managing garden maintenance. Its business model revolved around a subscription service, offering plans for weekly or bi-weekly visits with clear, upfront pricing. Ezhome utilized technology to enhance its service delivery, employing satellite imagery to generate custom proposals and providing an app for gardeners to manage daily tasks. This tech-forward approach allowed for transparent communication with clients, who received weekly reports that included before-and-after photos and a detailed list of completed tasks. The company managed its own fleet of gardeners, aiming to ensure quality and consistency, with the claim that certified expert horticulturists would lead each service.
Services offered were comprehensive, covering lawn mowing, edging, weeding, pruning, fertilization, and irrigation repairs. Financially, Ezhome secured undisclosed amounts in two seed funding rounds in 2015 and 2016 from investors including DFJ, FollowTheSeed, and Wise Old Owls. Despite its efforts to modernize the gardening service industry, the company is now listed as dead-pooled, indicating it has ceased operations.
