Daisy has been putting its stamp on the home technology integration industry as it rapidly expands its location base and franchise conversions. To aid in doing so, the home and small business installation and services firm, has announced it closed an $11 million Series A funding round, bringing total funding to $13.3 million, as reported by CityBiz.

The latest round was led by technology and software investors Goldcrest and Bungalow with participation from Bullish, Burst Capital, and angel investors, per the report.

The funding will be used to onboard new partners, further develop Daisy’s innovative branch support center, and continue the company’s mission to create a supportive environment for franchisees and customers alike, according to the company.

With a market opportunity estimated at $29 billion being served by 20,000, Daisy is quickly positioning itself to unify the integrator channel with a national brand and solution that addresses both the needs of smart home and small businesses and the dedicated integrators serving them today.

Daisy announced franchising availability earlier this year and is now operating coast-to-coast with the franchise conversions of Brilliant AV, Daisy’s CE Pro 100 flagship operation based in Southern California, and Digital Homes in Tampa Bay area, Florida.
