SAN DIEGO, December 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

On-demand smartphone repair service provider CellSavers announced today that it has raised $3 million in seed funding from Sequoia Israel. Angel investor Robert Antokol (CEO, Playtika) also participated in the round. Along with the funding, Sequoia Israel partner Gili Raanan will join the CellSavers board.

Launched earlier this year, CellSavers offers expert, reliable, highly-vetted technicians to quickly fix smartphones at the time and place of the customers' choice.

CellSavers is already active in several major cities across the U.S. and recently launched in San Francisco. This investment will help CellSavers enhance its technology-driven logistics and expand into other major U.S. cities in the billion dollar smartphone repair market.

CellSavers' online booking process is seamless and quick, with predetermined prices and no surprises, expert assistance typically available within 30 minutes or less, premium parts and a lifetime warranty. The company has already repaired thousands of phones across the country, while providing industry standard-setting service that is consistently praised by consumers.

"A broken smartphone is a real disaster for anyone," said Gili Raanan, partner, Sequoia Israel. "CellSavers makes it easy to fix your phone at a time and location that's convenient for you. We are excited to partner with Eyal, Itai and the entire team. They get rave reviews from their customers and the technicians in their network."

"We are proud and excited to partner with Sequoia Capital," said Itai Hirsch, co-founder and President, CellSavers. "Their experience growing on-demand companies is unparalleled, helping industry leaders such as Airbnb, DoorDash and Instacart to scale and become household names. We're thrilled to welcome Gili Raanan to the board. His experience with popular consumer services such as Moovit, Snaptu (acquired by Facebook) and Onavo (acquired by Facebook) makes him the perfect partner for our company. With Sequoia's help, we aim to make CellSavers the national standard for the highest quality, most convenient, most reliable on-demand smartphone repair service."

"We take great pride in our technicians' ability to delight our customers with excellent service, which is why we consistently experience a great response from users," said Eyal Ronen, co-founder and CEO, CellSavers.
