New York startup Probook secured $34 million in Series A funding led by Andreessen Horowitz and $6 million in seed funding led by Sequoia Capital. The company develops AI tools for scheduling and operations at HVAC, plumbing and electrical firms.
FortuneProbook, a New York-based startup, raised $40 million in total funding, Fortune reported. The round included a $34 million Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz and a $6 million seed round led by Sequoia Capital, which also participated in the Series A.
George Eliadis, 24, founded the company after spending six summers pressure washing houses in upstate New York with his father and earning a Wharton degree.
He served as Probook's only salesperson until February 2026 and has visited customers' weddings and stayed in their homes. The startup builds an AI operating system for home service businesses that handles dispatch, call answering, job data cleanup and customer updates in one platform.
Eliadis said dispatch forms the core of these operations because it determines which technician handles which job and what revenue each ticket generates.
Early results include an Indiana operator with 14 locations and 260 technicians that booked 2,542 jobs in its first month without human intervention. A Florida firm cut dispatchers from 22 to 10, while a Kansas shop reduced staff and raised average job revenue by 20 percent.
Probook targets private equity-backed rollups that acquired home service companies at an 88 percent year-over-year pace through mid-2025.
It is listed as a partner to ServiceTitan, the $6.3 billion public company that reported $960 million in revenue and offers its own AI scheduling tools. Andreessen Horowitz general partner David Haber called the approach a years-old structural moat.
Sequoia partner Konstantine Buhler, who backed the seed in early 2025 and joined the Series A, noted that Eliadis has direct experience in the trades unlike most founders in the sector.
