Cross Market Growth HomeStars is part of the Instapro Group, with platforms in UK, France, Germany/Austria, Italy, the Netherlands, and Canada, under Angi in the US. This network enables scalable multi-market expansion and cross-sell opportunities for marketing tech, lead generation, and SaaS solutions to pros and homeowners.
Financing Upsell The 2022 HomeStars + Perch refinancing option demonstrates homeowner demand for financing to proceed with projects. This creates a sales angle for bundled financing integration, consumer lending partnerships, or payment-activation offers alongside lead generation and project matching.
HRTech Scale With 520+ employees across six global hubs and a tech stack including UKG One View, SAP, and Personio, HomeStars represents a sizable, distributed customer with strong HR-IT needs. There's opportunity to offer HR software, onboarding automation, payroll, time tracking, benefits, and security/compliance services to optimize people operations across the Instapro network.
Data-Driven Marketing The Reno Report program and active content marketing indicate a data-driven approach and strong homeowner/pro contractor audience insights. A sales opportunity exists to supply analytics, data licensing, audience segments, and performance marketing services to both HomeStars and partner platforms, plus ad-tech integrations (TikTok, etc.).
Ecosystem Partnerships Existing partnerships (e.g., Craft-Bilt) show a thriving vendor network; there is potential to expand the partner ecosystem with more suppliers and pro networks, delivering lead-gen services, CRM integrations, and joint marketing to increase transaction volume on the marketplace.
