Qatar Investment Authority led a $275m funding round in Thumbtack, a modern home management platform, with participation from Blackstone, G Squared, Baillie Gifford, CapitalG, Founders Circle Capital, Sequoia Capital, and Tiger Global Management. "We want instant, on demand everything, but when it comes to fixing, maintaining and improving our homes that experience doesn’t exist. Thumbtack has an incredible opportunity to bring the $500bn home services market into the 21st century. We will create a new era of home management — and deliver the peace of mind every homeowner needs," Marco Zappacosta, Thumbtack CEO.
