Marketplace platform connecting homeowners with tradespeople across ANZ
hipages operates a two-sided marketplace for home services with 12+ million jobs posted since 2004. The hiring mix is heavily sales-focused (14 of 23 active roles in sales) paired with concentrated engineering and data investments, suggesting a classic marketplace scaling strategy: land supply (tradies) and demand (homeowners) while layering in analytics to improve retention. Pain points cluster around subscription renewal churn and upsell velocity, indicating the business model is shifting from transaction volume toward recurring revenue—consistent with the active projects around acquisition funnel analysis, forecasting, and segmentation.
