“A poster child for the movement could be 34 years Matt Ehrlichman Seattle, which last year built an online business in part with Seattle permits, occupational licenses and other information-build home picked up by the Ministry of Planning and City Development.While the site is free, his company, called Porch. com, has more than 80 employees and receives a monthly fee of $ 35 for industry professionals who want to increase the visibility of their project on the site of the first public site.The collects data such as addresses of homes being renovation, what they do, who does the work and how much they are charging and combines it with photos and other information professionals and owners in the industry. It then creates a searchable database for users to compare ideas and costs for projects near their neighborhood. M. Ehrlichman raised $ 6.25 million from angel investors in October 2012, and plans to hire about 80 more workers by the end of 2014 as it continues to develop the online service nationally.”
