CellSavers Secures $3M in Seed Funding From Sequoia Israel; Seeks to Expand On-Demand Smartphone Repair Service in the U.S.

On-demand smartphone repair service provider CellSavers announced on Monday it has raised $3 million in seed funding from Sequoia Israel. Angel investor Robert Antokol (CEO, Playtika) also participated in the round. Along with the funding, Sequoia Israel partner Gili Raanan will join the CellSavers board. 

Launched earlier this year, CellSavers offers expert, reliable, highly-vetted technicians to quickly fix smartphones at the time and place of the customers’ choice. The company is already active in several major cities across the U.S. and recently launched in San Francisco. This investment will help CellSavers enhance its technology-driven logistics and expand into other major U.S. cities in the billion dollar smartphone repair market.

CellSavers’ online booking process is seamless and quick, with predetermined prices and no surprises, expert assistance typically available within 30 minutes or less, premium parts and a lifetime warranty. The company has already repaired thousands of phones across the country, while providing industry standard-setting service that is consistently praised by consumers.

 This investment will help CellSavers enhance its technology-driven logistics and expand into other major U.S. cities in the billion dollar smartphone repair market. Gili Raanan, partner of Sequoia Israel, stated:

 “A broken smartphone is a real disaster for anyone. CellSavers makes it easy to fix your phone at a time and location that’s convenient for you. We are excited to partner with Eyal, Itai and the entire team. They get rave reviews from their customers and the technicians in their network.”

Itai Hirsch, co-founder and president of CellSavers, noted:

“We are proud and excited to partner with Sequoia Capital. Their experience growing on-demand companies is unparalleled, helping industry leaders such as Airbnb, DoorDash and Instacart to scale and become household names. We’re thrilled to welcome Gili Raanan to the board. His experience with popular consumer services such as Moovit, Snaptu (acquired by Facebook) and Onavo (acquired by Facebook) makes him the perfect partner for our company. With Sequoia’s help, we aim to make CellSavers the national standard for the highest quality, most convenient, most reliable on-demand smartphone repair service.”

 Eyal Ronen, co-founder and CEO, CellSavers, added:

“We take great pride in our technicians’ ability to delight our customers with excellent service, which is why we consistently experience a great response from users. We see our platform as the difference between hailing a cab in the rain and ordering a ride at the click of a button while sitting in the comfort of your home, office, or café. We at CellSavers pride ourselves on our customer service – going the extra mile, often literally, to repair customers’ phones at any location, from gyms to bars and even family picnics. It’s a leap in the quality of service people are receiving for their most important digital lifeline.”
