Germany-based domestic services provider Helpling has completed a $22.5m funding round led by broadcasting group ProSiebenSat.1, DealStreetAsia reported on Friday.
Lakestar and Mangrove Capital also contributed to the round.
Incubated by e-commerce group Rocket Internet in 2014, Helpling operates an online marketplace for homeowners to book vetted, local cleaners.
The company has entered 10 countries to date and in two geographies – Germany and Singapore – also allows users to book contractors for other household tasks such as assembling furniture or doing the laundry.
The latest cash injection will let Helpling expand further across Europe and Asia Pacific.
The company has raised €87m ($97m) in funding to date, it said in a statement quoted by DealStreetAsia.
Media group Tamedia made a seven-figure investment in October 2018, adding to a commitment of undisclosed size by Unilever Ventures, the strategic investment arm of consumer goods manufacturer Unilever, in August 2017.
Asia Pacific Internet Group, the joint venture formed by Rocket Internet and telecommunications firm Ooredoo, previously led a $10.8m round in March 2017 that also featured unnamed, existing backers.
Rocket Internet had already backed a $47m series B round in 2015 together with Lakestar, Kite Ventures and private investor Lukas Gadowski.
