Funding supports continued growth of national fix now, pay-at-closing home improvement solution for real estate agents

POTOMAC, Md., Aug. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Curbio, Inc., the leading pay-at-closing home improvement solution for real estate agents, brokerages and their listing clients, today announced the closing of a $25 million credit facility and a new banking relationship with Cambridge Trust, with headquarters in Cambridge, Ma. The $25 million credit facility, along with a $65 million Series B funding round announced in January, brings Curbio's total 2022 funding to $90 million.

Curbio has now raised a total of $118 million since its founding in late 2017. Curbio is the first tech-enabled home improvement company designed specifically to repair and update homes before they go on the market, so they sell quickly and for top dollar, with no payment due until the home sells.

The new credit facility provided by Cambridge Trust will be used to expand into additional markets, further develop Curbio's proprietary technology and support the company's rapid topline growth, which is expected to exceed $100 million in 2023. Cambridge Trust joins Revolution Growth, Camber Creek, Comcast Ventures, Brick & Mortar Ventures, Kayne Partners, Masco Ventures, and Second Century Ventures, the investment arm of the National Association of Realtors®.

"Curbio is taking an outdated and broken home improvement process and completely re-inventing it to benefit real estate agents, their home seller clients and the broader subcontractor market. Everyone wins in this model, and we're thrilled to have Cambridge Trust join the rest of our experienced, high-quality investors, to support our transformation of the $80 billion pre-sale home improvement industry," said Rick Rudman, CEO of Curbio.

Curbio's use of proprietary technology is dramatically improving the customer experience in home improvement. The Curbio platform and web app makes it easy to get proposals, line up labor and materials, track project schedules, get visual updates, and communicate in real-time from any location, on any device. Curbio's projects average a 20% increase in selling prices, 50% reduction in project time, and 50% reduction in days on market.

Modern home buyers want move-in-ready properties, making pre-listing home improvements a necessity in order to sell a home quickly and for top dollar. Curbio unlocks the ability for any real estate agent to offer their clients a completely turnkey pre-listing home improvement solution, without paying anything until the home sells. Curbio removes all barriers to the home improvement process, making it streamlined, simple and stress-free. As the preeminent one-stop solution for pay-at-closing residential home improvement, Curbio is seizing on an enormous, previously untapped opportunity.

"We are thrilled to provide this $25 million credit facility to Curbio to support its rapid growth and the development of its innovative home improvement technology," said Chris Roy, Director of Innovation Banking at Cambridge Trust. "Curbio has a seasoned executive team and an innovative solution that is long overdue in the property technology space. We collaborated very closely with the Curbio team to understand their unique working capital needs and developed a tailored credit solution that gives them substantial access to capital as they transform this industry. We look forward to helping Curbio transform home improvement for real estate."
