Oklahoma City, OK (PRWEB) October 30, 2014 -- With the rise in sharing economy platforms like TaskRabbit, Airbnb, Uber, and Lyft, one company, WeGoLook has the edge on customized tasking and inspection services for online consumers. WeGoLook recently announced closing on $1.75 million Series A equity investment.
Founded in 2010, WeGoLook has grown their platform through serving individuals purchasing through online companies such as eBay, AutoTrader.com, Cars.com, Ritchie Bros., and more. Through their Agent database, known as Lookers, the company dispatches a real person local to the asset to take photos, videos, collect on-site data, and verify the seller’s claims prior to the bidding or purchasing on the item. WeGoLook inspects properties, autos, heavy equipment, boats, antiques, and more. Additionally, the service helps individuals complete tasks on their behalf, like notarizing documents, picking up and delivering purchases to a shipper, or completing customized solutions for running your errands nationwide. With over 15,000 Lookers, few other sharing economy platforms can compare to WeGoLook’s coverage and flexibility, which, is of the upmost importance when considering online purchasing.
WeGoLook plans to use the investment for advancements in software development. Earlier this year, the first version of the WeGoLook App was launched transitioning the web-based platform to mobile technology. This investment will provide the opportunity for rapid technology progression which will enable WeGoLook to more efficiently service the demands of the growing market for inspection services and customized tasking solutions for you.
The Series A Investment round was led by i2E with investments from the Oklahoma Seed Capital Fund, OKAngel Sidecar Fund, The Seed Step Angels, and WeGoLook Founders, Mat and Robin Smith and Karl Baldischwiler.
