WHAT IS REDBEACON?
Redbeacon is one of the hottest startups in Silicon Valley. It was founded by 3 ex-Googlers and has taken the top prize at some of the world’s most prestigious startup competitions such as TechCrunch50, Business Insider’s Startup 2010, and the Silicon Valley Business Journal’s Emerging Tech Award. We’ve also been named among San Francisco Magazine’s “Best of the Bay.”
At Redbeacon, we’re changing the way people find and book local services on the Web. Our San Mateo-based company was started to help people find the right local business or professional to handle virtually any local service need. Request a service (e.g., mover, carpet cleaner, photographer, etc.), and qualified professionals receive your request and submit price quotes and appointment times. You’ll be shown profile information about each service provider, the price they’ll charge for the job, their ratings and reviews, and which friends or professional organizations endorse them. When you see an option you like, you can accept a price quote and schedule the appointment online at the touch of a button.
