Cleaning Startup Homejoy Opens An Office In New York City

Homejoy offers its home cleaning services in more than 30 North American markets , but it managed to expand without opening any offices outside of its San Francisco headquarters — until January, when it opened an office in New York City’s financial district.

See also: Top 25 Free iPhone Apps of All Time "The slowing growth rates and smaller Christmas Day app download spike signal market maturation," Mary Ellen Gordon, director of industry insight and analytics at Flurry wrote in a blog post. "Fewer people are coming online with mobile for the very first time. Consumers who are on second, third or fourth devices have apps that they like and trust, and while they still download new apps, there isn’t much more impetus to do so on Christmas than any other day when they have a little downtime."
