• Pronto raised an additional $20 Mn, taking its valuation to $200 Mn
• Daily bookings surged to 26,000, while the workforce grew to 6,500 in four months
• The startup is expanding into new services like car washing, gardening, and home cooks

Instant household services startup Pronto has raised an additional $20 million in funding from investor Lachy Groom, extending its Series B round to $45 million and pushing the company’s valuation to $200 million — nearly double its valuation from about a month ago.

Existing backers include General Catalyst, Bain Capital Ventures, Glade Brook Capital Partners, Epiq Capital and Lachy Groom. The firm has now raised a total of nearly $60 million in funds.

Started in 2025 by Anjali Sardana, Pronto is a service that connects users with trained and background-checked people for house cleaning, laundry, dish-washing, cooking, car washing, and gardening.

Since the first close of its Series B round, the startup’s daily bookings have jumped to 26,000 up from approximately 18,000, which works out to nearly 780,000 bookings per month, the startup said. The workforce has also increased by a lot, from 1440 people in January to 6500 in the past four months and platform utilisation is above 65%.

“Organizing informal labor is going to be one of the defining shifts of the next decade in services. The longer-term vision of Pronto is to be the world's largest labor organization platform,” founder Anjali said.

Pronto is set to beef up its presence in its existing markets over the next six months and has expanded into newer categories, like car washing, gardening and home cooks in select Bengaluru micromarkets.

New competition and interest in the segment continues to increase. Urban Company recently revealed to its audience that it has reached 1 million bookings with its InstaHelp service in March, and Snabbit said it reached 1 million orders in March.

Since January 2025, when they both began their mission, the total amount of funding raised by the two groups has been nearly $170 million, with nearly $100 million raised in 2026 alone.
