Invesco, Divco West Back Hello Alfred in Series B Round

Connect Apartments is coming up on June 26th in Los Angeles. Here’s a link to find out more about the conference and to register.

Tech startup Hello Alfred, which partners with residential developers to provide personal home managers, has raised $40 million in Series B fundraising. Leading the fundraising was a syndicate of strategic partners, including Invesco and Divco West.

Early investors, including New Enterprise Associates and Spark Capital, also participated in this round. “When we first met Marcela and Jess in 2014, their vision to re-imagine the retail landscape through inside-the-home services and commerce was revolutionary,” said Bijan Sabet at Spark Capital. “They have created a new category by earning the trust of consumers and simplifying the way they buy and get things done every week.”

New York-based Hello Alfred currently is available in 40,000 residential units across eight markets, mainly on the East and West Coasts. It’s expected to expand to 100,000 homes by year’s end.
