Today, I’m thrilled to announce Avoca has raised over $125M across Seed to Series B at a $1B valuation, backed by @kleinerperkins, @MeritechCapital, @generalcatalyst, @Amplify, and other top Silicon Valley investors to bring AI to the services economy. @FortuneMagazine Exclusive by @agarfinks fortune.com/2026/04/27/avo…

Big congrats to @apurvas96, @thetysonchen, and @getavoca. Conventional software tries to force the service economy into rigid workflows - these workflows are often more complex than no software at all - leading to churn and a distrust from business owners. Avoca started with the customer. They dug into how the work actually happens and built from there. The result: every customer interaction handled, every marketing dollar accounted for, and 1000+ businesses relying on Avoca. Most AI has yet to reach the application layer of complex industries. Avoca is the answer for the service economy. We are so honored to be part of your journey!

“When a restaurant misses a phone call, that’s a $30, $40 order,” Avoca cofounder Tyson Chen told Fortune's @agarfinks. “When a home service business misses a phone call, that could be a $30,000, $40,000 HVAC install they’re missing.” bit.ly/4mQ9Qn3

Big news from @thetysonchen @apurvas96 & the Avoca team! 🚀

I'm excited to share that @getavoca has raised over $125M across Seed to Series B at a $1B valuation, backed by Kleiner Perkins, Meritech, General Catalyst, Amplify, and more to build AI agents for the services economy.

Congrats to @getavoca on their $125M raise at a $1B valuation! They're building AI agents for home services businesses—answering inbound calls, booking jobs, following up on estimates, and driving new leads based on technician capacity. On track to book $1B in jobs this year. fortune.com/2026/04/27/avo…

Having grown up answering phone calls as my part-time job in Michigan, it was very clear to me that AI was going to have an outsized impact on the services world. That experience led me to founding Avoca with my brilliant cofounder, @thetysonchen.

We're growing exponentially and hiring across all teams!
