Our take

Updater’s app allows home movers to take care of every aspect of relocation by arranging the physical logistics of the move itself. Where it sets itself apart however are its features for transferring utilities such as water and gas, home insurance as well as TV and internet connections, and even mail forwarding.

The app is already used by over 25% of home-movers in the US, which establishes Updater as a clear market leader. It has accrued a strong reputation as a more premium end-to-end moving experience as it is an "invite-only" service.

Recent funding led by Vista Credit Partners, taking total investment to higher than $400M, will be used as growth capital. The company will invest in accelerating research and development, launching new products and user features, whilst expanding into more industry verticals to really cement its leading position.
