Citiservi, one-stop shop for local products and services, closes €1.5m round
Today, Citiservi has announced a new €1.5m round which includes €500,000 from public funding (ENISA) and €1m from a number of private investors, including Julián Martinez, founder of the international classifieds group Adoos and José Antonio Garrido, Ex-President of Gamesa and ex-CEO de Iberdrola.
Citiservi, on the other hand, is a horizontal lead generation platform for all kinds of services as well as a way to request estimates. Rather than a local coupon site like Oportunista, which has offers for restaurants and entertainment, Citiservi goes beyond entertainment, to serve all manner of day-to-day needs, such as plumbers, lawyers, movers, household appliances, etc. Essentially, they’re a one-stop shop, providing a wide-range of coupons, estimate requests and even an automated dial-in for emergency services, which matches your urgent service request with available providers on the spot.
Since launching, they’ve implemented a beta Android app, initially to offer Citiservi’s emergency services on the go. Coming soon is an iPhone roll-out, as well as the rest of the services currently offered via the web. The latest round will be used for marketing, beyond organic growth, and product innovation, as well as a stronger commercial push into other International markets.
