Descriptiontext

Easy Bids Inc. is a Delaware-incorporated, private marketplace operator connecting homeowners with local home improvement service professionals across the United States. The platform is delivered through a customer-facing mobile app (iOS/Android), a separate PRO app for service providers, and a web portal, and it spans 100+ service categories including roofing, solar, plumbing, electrical, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, HVAC, painting, landscaping, pest control, and swimming pool services. Its core differentiator is a blind online auction process in which homeowners post projects and competing service providers submit bids, supplemented by in-app messaging, aerial-footage outdoor measurement tools, augmented reality indoor measurement tools, and an Easy Bids Guarantee providing up to $1,000 in property protection coverage.

The business operates a freemium, two-sided marketplace. Homeowners use the platform at no cost, paying only a small refundable deposit to secure a job. Easy Bids monetizes the service provider side via a tiered transaction fee of 1-5% of the winning bid amount (5% on bids up to $1,000, scaling down to 1% on bids above $15,000), plus a PRO+ subscription membership that promises 30% more jobs. Payment processing is handled through Stripe, customer trust signals are sourced from Google and Yelp review integrations, and consumer financing is provided through a partnership with Lightstream.

Operationally, Easy Bids is a sub-10-employee company based in Santee, California (San Diego County), with publicly stated presence in 10+ US metros. It has not disclosed any external funding rounds, revenue figures, or named institutional investors, and there are no public executive team bios. The platform's strategic positioning is a low-friction, self-serve alternative to incumbents in the home services marketplace category, with light proprietary tooling (blind auction, AR/aerial measurement) layered over commodity marketplace infrastructure.
