How it got started?
The company is 9 years old and got started in February 2009 by Adi Tatarko and Alon Cohen while they were both involved in a remodelling project and was little confused about vision for their home in finding a professional. This gradually took a turn into a company when they received emails from home professionals outside San Francisco to add up on few more categories on Houzz and start it in the fall of 2010.
Soon the app for the company was launched for iPad and Android versions in the following years and with constant growth they turned their mind towards global expansion by starting offices in United Kingdom, Germany and Australia.
