Costa Mesa, CA, June 5, 2024Daisy, a home and small business technology installation and services company, today is announcing its $11 million Series A funding round, bringing total funding to $13.3 million.

Additionally, Daisy has acquired integration companies serving Connecticut, Northern California, and South Florida and envisions being in at least 16 markets this year with plans for nationwide coverage by 2025. Committed to sustainable growth, the company expects to be profitable within two years and is operating at a $20 million run rate, on track to become a top 10 player in the market within the next few months.
