Puls is a San Francisco-based technology company founded in 2015 that operates an on-demand platform connecting homeowners with vetted technicians for home repair, installation, and warranty services.[1][2][3] It builds a service booking app and marketplace offering solutions like appliance repair, TV mounting, smart home setup, garage door repair, plumbing, and mobile device fixes, serving over 2 million households by matching users with local, background-checked professionals for quick, in-home visits.[1][2][5] Puls solves the problem of fragmented, unreliable home maintenance by providing transparent pricing, real-time estimates via AI, and a 90-day service guarantee, with strong growth evidenced by $108.68 million in total funding across multiple rounds and expansion from mobile repairs to comprehensive "everything with an 'ON' switch" services before its acquisition by Super Home in October 2024.[1][3]
Puls was founded in 2015 by Eyal Ronen and Itai Hirsch as CellSavers, initially focusing on on-demand smartphone and tablet repairs by matching users with nearby skilled technicians.[1][2][3] The idea emerged from the need for convenient gadget fixes, leading to early traction with offices in San Diego and Tel Aviv, and about 50 employees by 2017 when it rebranded to Puls and broadened into smart home installations and TV services.[1][2] Pivotal moments included a $25 million Series B in 2017 backed by Temasek, Samsung NEXT, Sequoia Capital Israel, and others—bringing total funding to $43 million at the time for U.S. expansion—and a $50 million Series C in 2018 that fueled services like antenna installation, security systems, and garage door repairs, earning it 11th place on LinkedIn's Top 25 U.S. Startups list.[1][2] Partnerships like TCL's 2019 deal for a 5,000-person installation team and the 2023 launch of a Generative AI assistant for home care queries marked further evolution, culminating in its October 2024 acquisition by Super Home.[1][2][3]
Puls rides the on-demand services and smart home boom, capitalizing on rising homeowner demand for instant, reliable repairs amid IoT proliferation and aging appliances.[1][2] Timing aligned with post-2015 gig economy growth and AI advancements, as seen in its 2023 Generative AI launch for home care, positioning it ahead in a market fragmented by local providers.[2][3] Favorable forces include urbanization, e-commerce-driven device adoption, and warranty shifts toward tech platforms, influencing the ecosystem by professionalizing freelance repairs—via 7 patents and technician vetting—and partnering with giants like Samsung and TCL to standardize installs.[1][2] Its acquisition by Super Home in 2024 amplifies this, integrating into larger warranty networks to challenge traditional services.[1]
Post-acquisition by Super Home, Puls is poised to scale its platform nationally, leveraging combined resources for AI enhancements and new categories like advanced plumbing or EV charger installs.[1] Trends like AI personalization, smart home ubiquity, and subscription warranties will shape its path, potentially evolving from startup disruptor to dominant hybrid service-warranty leader. This builds on its foundation as a pioneer in on-demand home tech repairs, delivering lasting convenience for modern homeowners.[1][2][5]
Puls has raised $58.0M across 4 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $15.0M Venture Round in November 2021.
