InstaService Secures $2 Million Investment from Mercurius Media Capital to Fuel Nationwide Customer Growth

Milpitas, CA, July 6th, 2026, FinanceWire

InstaService, an AI-powered home services marketplace, has secured a $2 million media-for-equity investment from Mercurius Media Capital. Mercurius anchored the investment alongside a group of angel investors as part of InstaService's seed round. The funding will support nationwide brand awareness, customer acquisition, and the expansion of the InstaService marketplace across the United States.

As more households seek convenient and dependable home services, technology-driven platforms are emerging to simplify maintenance and repair management. InstaService addresses this demand by combining AI-driven technology with a network of vetted service professionals.

Finding trustworthy home service providers remains a challenge for many homeowners. Despite advances in technology, the home services industry remains highly fragmented, making it difficult to identify reliable professionals, stay on top of routine maintenance, and coordinate repairs efficiently.

Today, InstaService powers a network of more than 7,000 vetted service providers, serves over 22,000 registered customers, maintains a 95% customer satisfaction rate, and has earned an average customer rating of 4.8 stars across its platform.

“This partnership with Mercurius Media Capital marks an important milestone for InstaService,” said Venkatesh, CEO of InstaService. “Their support will help us reach more homeowners across the country while we continue building AI-powered experiences that make home services simpler, faster, and more reliable.”

Reimagining the Home Services Experience

Home services remain one of the biggest consumer markets in the United States, yet much of the customer journey still runs on fragmented workflows, manual coordination, and inconsistent service.

From booking a handyman and scheduling house cleaning to handling plumbing repairs or requesting quotes for larger home improvement projects, consumers often have to manage multiple service providers, compare pricing, and coordinate schedules on their own. 

InstaService set out to change that, uniting marketplace technology, artificial intelligence, and operational infrastructure in a single platform designed to simplify how home services are discovered, booked, and managed.

With this new funding, the company can accelerate investment across several strategic growth areas.

Growing Home Maintenance Subscriptions

One of the company’s top priorities is the launch of Home Maintenance Subscriptions, a proactive maintenance solution created to help property owners stay ahead of recurring upkeep.

The subscription approach is designed to offer homeowners, landlords, property managers, and short-term rental operators a more predictable and convenient way to manage ongoing property care.

By turning home maintenance from a reactive scramble into a proactive habit, InstaService aims to reduce unexpected repair bills while helping customers keep their properties in better shape.

Investing in Smarter, AI-Driven Customer Journeys

InstaService is also growing its investment in AI-driven booking experiences and operational workflows.

The company believes artificial intelligence will play an ever-larger part in helping customers identify what they need, receive accurate recommendations, understand likely pricing, and book with greater confidence.

At the same time, AI-powered operational systems can sharpen marketplace efficiency by streamlining workflows, reducing response times, and helping service professionals handle customer demand more effectively.

To make the journey even easier, InstaService launched Ask AI, a conversational home services assistant created for today’s U.S. homeowners to help identify issues, understand repair costs, and book the right service through a simple, natural-language conversation.

Strengthening the Marketplace

The media investment will support nationwide brand awareness, increase brand visibility, accelerate customer acquisition, and expand the InstaService marketplace across the United States. Alongside these efforts, InstaService will continue investing in product innovation, strategic partnerships, and marketplace capabilities as part of its long-term growth strategy.

As the platform grows, InstaService intends to strengthen the link between homeowners and service professionals while improving service quality, booking accuracy, and overall customer satisfaction.

The company believes that pairing artificial intelligence, operational automation, and an expanding network of service professionals puts InstaService in a strong position to meet the evolving expectations of home services customers.

Fueling the Company’s Next Stage of Growth

The investment from Mercurius Media Capital reflects rising confidence in technology’s ability to transform home services.

As consumers increasingly expect convenience, transparency, and on-demand service, InstaService remains committed to building solutions that make it simpler to maintain and manage a home.

This partnership marks an important milestone in InstaService's growth as the company continues to expand its platform capabilities and deliver a reliable, customer-first home services experience at scale.
