Everything you need to know Houzz IPO

Home development and design platform Houzz could open its doors to investors in 2023. If you’ve never heard of Houzz before, it’s a popular online community connecting home owners to a variety of design and construction professionals.

At the moment Houzz is a private company, but like many other US-based startups it has been planning to list its stock since last year. The Palo Alto-based company experienced rapid growth during the Covid pandemic when many home owners decided to renovate their houses.

In 2021 Houzz hired Goldman Sachs to prepare for an initial public offering. It has raised up to $650 million up-to-date.

How does Houzz make money?

Houzz was founded in 2009 by married couple Adi Tatarko and Alon Cohen, who decided to launch a website to help home owners find ideas for remodelling their properties. As their business grew, the power couple also started selling project management software to home professionals. Today Cohen and Tatarko own about a quarter of the company, which has 1,200 employees and has attracted 65 million users over its lifetime.

The Houzz online platform makes money via subscriptions, referrals, foreign exchange, and late payment fees, as well as interest.

Last year, Houzz trimmed 8% of its total global workforce, affected by the macroeconomic conditions in the home improvement and interior design industry.
