Documented cause
Tydy was an Indian home services marketplace founded in Bangalore in 2014 raising approximately $1.2M to connect homeowners with vetted domestic help and household service providers. The company faced brutal competition from well-funded rivals UrbanClap (now Urban Company) and Housejoy, which raised $25M and $23M respectively. Tydy ran out of funds by mid-2016, unable to compete on supply acquisition and marketing spend against better-capitalized competitors.
