> I'm no expert, but as a homeowner and someone who as a result has to employ contractors to fix things, I'd love to see someone make home repairs easier, more certain, and lower aggravation.

While it's definitely possible to improve the experience around that, I don't think it really qualifies as market making. Specifially, look at wikipedia's definition:

>A market maker or liquidity provider is a company or an individual that quotes both a buy and a sell price in a tradable asset held in inventory, hoping to make a profit on the bid–ask spread, or turn.

You can't really hold "renovations to be done" as an "asset in inventory". It'll be something like uber, ie. a marketplace, not a market maker.




That's fair and I agree that it's friction-reducing but not market-making.
