Angi

Angi operates a two-sided online marketplace that connects homeowners with service professionals across more than 1,000 home service categories, from home improvement to repair and maintenance. Founded in 1995 and employing some 2,800 people worldwide, the company reports having facilitated over 300 million projects and helped more than 150 million people with their homes. Its operations are concentrated in the United States.

The company's platform presents several recurring engineering problems. Matching algorithms pair homeowners with suitable professionals; reviews and ratings systems aggregate service quality signals; and verified review, trust and safety infrastructure works to keep those signals reliable. Transparent pricing and quote comparison tools structure the process of obtaining and evaluating estimates. The core product, the Angi platform, handles the workflow of finding professionals, comparing quotes and completing projects.

Angi's portfolio also includes Angie's List, launched in 1995 as an online directory for researching and rating local contractors, and HomeAdvisor, a home services brand unified with the others under a single mission. For service professionals, the platform functions as a source of business; for homeowners, as a means of researching and hiring. The company describes its operating principles as centred on trust, transparency and reliability in getting home projects completed.
