Adam, a home-improvement platform that provides customers with online access to reliable contractor services, has raised a €3M late-seed round from Brighteye, an European edtech VC. The startup plans to venture beyond Europe and into new construction trades. 

  • Adam was founded by Roman Sysel and Jakub Dvorak in 2020, and now operates in 11 European countries: UK, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Greece. Its platform focuses on providing customers with easy online access to reliable contractor services. It uses a transparent online calculator, which provides customers with an estimated job cost and enables them to request home-improvement services.
  • To date, the company focuses on painting services and apartment renovations. According to the company’s data, Adam boasts more than 15,000 completed jobs. At the end of 2022, Adam received a €1 million seed round from Presto Ventures.

Undoubtedly, traditional craftsmanship is in need of modernisation. That said, no one has yet managed to solve all three decisive factors – quality, availability, and price – simultaneously. We decided to tackle this complex situation one trade at a time. Our vision is that one day you will be able to build an entire house through Adam,

Adam’s co-founder, Roman Sysel, commented.

The fresh funding was led by Brighteye. It was founded in 2017 as a VC that backs European edtech entrepreneurs at seed & series A stages. Brighteye claims, it invests in companies that help people learn and grow.

The new investment will be used to strengthen their position in markets where the service is already successful. Additionally, Adam plans to expand into new cities and countries outside of Europe, broaden its offerings to new trades, and build a development team to enhance automation and further improve the customer experience.
