We\u2019re being watched, and we don\u2019t mind it one bit.<\/span><\/p>

Built in Austin, an online hub for Austin startups and tech companies, has put LawnStarter on its <\/span>list<\/span><\/a> of the 50 Austin startups to watch in 2016. Other companies on the list include Dropoff, Favor, Loop & Tie, Ridescout, Silvercar and YouEarnedIt.<\/span><\/p>

Founded in 2013, LawnStarter helps consumers find, schedule and manage lawn care services. We employ around 30 people at our headquarters in downtown Austin.<\/span><\/p>

\u201c2016 promises to be a big year for LawnStarter,\u201d says Ryan Farley, co-founder and chief operating officer of LawnStarter. \u201cThis year, we are growing our team as we expand into new markets around the country. Our goal is to make ordering lawn care services as simple and painless as possible. In doing that, we\u2019re striving to become a household name in the lawn care industry.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u2018Revolutionary\u2019 Startup<\/h3>

LawnStarter recently <\/span>added<\/span><\/a> three Texas markets — Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio — along with Charlotte, N.C., and Jacksonville, Fla. We already operated in Austin, Orlando, Fla., and Washington, D.C.<\/span><\/p>

Since 2013, LawnStarter has picked up more than $7 million in funding from investors such as San Francisco-based <\/span>Binary Capital<\/span><\/a> and New York City-based <\/span>Vayner\/RSE<\/span><\/a>. LawnStarter graduated from the Techstars Austin business accelerator program in 2014.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThe recognition from ‘Built in Austin’ is an acknowledgment that LawnStarter is a revolutionary upstart in the <\/span>$76 billion lawn care industry<\/span><\/a> in the U.S.,\u201d Farley says.<\/span><\/p>
