Unconventional Ideas

Vision

Founded in 2008, Thumbtack provides a platform where users can find and hire local professionals for a wide variety of services, including home repair, cleaning, moving, personal training, and more. The company was started by Marco Zappacosta to address the lack of a centralized marketplace for service providers. With a user-friendly interface and broad service coverage, Thumbtack has grown rapidly, reaching millions of registered users and facilitating millions of service requests annually. Backed by early venture capital, the company achieved unicorn status and continues to expand its footprint in the home services space. Thumbtack remains privately held and plays a significant role in streamlining how people find and book trusted help.
