Webel, a digital marketplace for home services, has raised €4.3 million in a pre-Series A funding round to support product development, marketing, and expansion across Europe.
The round was led by Trind Ventures, with participation from Decelera Ventures, Tiburon, and other investors. Mantas Mikuckas, co-founder and former COO of Vinted, also joined the round as a new investor. The company is positioning itself to scale its platform and broaden its service offering within a fragmented and largely offline market.
What The Company Does
Founded in 2018 by Carlos Estévez Rincón, Guillermo Mateo, and Nacho Tejero Mancho, Webel operates a digital marketplace that connects consumers with professionals offering home services. The platform enables users to book services such as cleaning, handyman work, and other household tasks while allowing service providers to manage pricing, availability, and client interactions.
Webel reports a user base of more than 2 million customers, alongside approximately 350,000 registered professionals and close to one million service listings. Its platform structure aims to simplify the booking process while creating additional income opportunities for independent workers.
A key element of Webel’s model is its pricing structure. The company states that its services are typically priced 30 to 40 percent lower than competitors, supported by a cost model that also offers professionals comparatively lower commission fees while maintaining control over their operations.
While cleaning, ironing, and handyman services remain the most requested categories, the platform has expanded into additional verticals, including small renovations, moving services, beauty services such as manicure, appliance repair, private tutoring, and childcare.

Market Context / Industry Background
The global home services market is estimated to exceed €1 trillion in value, yet it remains significantly less digitized than other consumer service sectors. Many transactions are still conducted offline or through fragmented local networks, creating inefficiencies in pricing, availability, and service quality.
Digital marketplaces such as Webel are attempting to address these gaps by standardizing access to services and improving transparency for both consumers and providers. The expansion of service categories reflects a broader industry trend toward “super app” models, where multiple services are aggregated within a single platform.
Webel’s recent growth reflects increasing demand for digitally managed home services. Since 2022, the company reports strong expansion across key metrics, with growth multiples ranging from 2.2x to 7.5x. Over the past year, the company reduced its marketing expenditure to prioritize product development, which contributed to a rise in organic traffic.
As competition increases across European service marketplaces, differentiation through pricing, service breadth, and user experience is becoming central to platform growth.
Founder / Investor Commentary
Nacho Tejero, CEO and co-founder of Webel, said the latest funding round supports the company’s broader ambition to become a comprehensive platform for home services.
“The confidence of leading investors and the entry of profiles such as Mantas Mikuckas reinforces our vision of building the leading platform for hiring any home service,” Tejero said. “Our goal is to simplify access to these services while helping thousands of professionals find new work opportunities.”
He added that the company is actively repositioning its brand beyond its initial focus on cleaning services.
“We are evolving from being perceived as a cleaning app to becoming a true home services platform, with categories such as electricians, plumbers, renovations, moving services, tutoring, and childcare or elderly care among the more than 30 service categories currently available,” he said.
Growth Plans / Use Of Funds
Webel plans to allocate the newly raised capital primarily toward product development and marketing initiatives aimed at increasing platform adoption and visibility. A key focus will be expanding recently introduced service categories, which the company sees as a way to significantly increase its total addressable market.
Geographically, the company will continue to strengthen its presence in Spain, where it currently operates in 31 cities including Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, and Bilbao. At the same time, Webel has begun expanding internationally, with initial operations already underway in the United Kingdom.
The company has set a target to triple its revenue by 2026 while progressing toward profitability. To support this growth, Webel also plans to expand its team of approximately 30 employees, with new hires expected in marketing, technology, and product development.
This funding round follows a previous €1.4 million raise in 2024 from investors including Goodwater Capital, Decelera Ventures, and ZAKA VC.
