Local Services Marketplace Thumbtack Raises $4.5 Million

Thumbtack, which operates an online community marketplace where people can easily list and book local services, has raised $4.5 million in Series A funding, TechCrunch has learned. The round was led by Javelin Venture Partners, with MHS Capital and venture capitalist Tim Draper participating. Founded in 2009, Thumbtack aims to "make hiring a service professional as easy as it is to buy a book on Amazon.com". It's up against startups like Redbeacon and OpenChime, among others.
