“As of July 31, Homejoy is gone. The ‘Uber-for-home-cleaning’ is closing its virtual doors after three years of service, millions of VC dollars, and the endorsement of all kinds of Silicon Valley darlings. Homejoy was being hit with the same employee/contractor lawsuits that Uber and Lyft are currently fighting in California. In a moment of clarity, the Homejoy CEO blamed their shutdown on these lawsuits. This is a dangerous moment for the so-called ‘gig economy’ and clearly the Homejoy owners and investors thought it wasn’t worth the fight. Better to cash out now and fight/create another day.”
