Umbrella

Umbrella is a Brooklyn-based task management platform that connects senior citizens with local workers for small temporary jobs and home-help tasks.

Founded in 2017 and acquired by Angi in January 2021, Umbrella had around 48 employees at the time of its acquisition. The platform serves as a marketplace that matches users with community members who can assist with various everyday tasks. Examples of services include carpentry, changing light bulbs and fixtures, fixing leaky faucets, assembling furniture, cleaning gutters, hanging picture frames, installing and removing air conditioners, installing grab bars, and unclogging drains. Umbrella aims to help retirees live with more independence and purpose by providing access to reliable assistance for their daily needs.
