Houzz will be valued at around $4 billion in a new funding round led by Iconiq Capital

Houzz, the popular photo site used by homeowners to plan renovations, is finalizing a new funding round of $400 million that will value the startup at around $4 billion, a spokesperson confirmed to Recode.

The new investment is being led by Iconiq Capital, according to a person familiar with the deal. Iconiq is the high-powered but low-profile investment firm that has managed money for the Silicon Valley uber-wealthy like Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg.

Past Houzz investors GGV Capital and Sequoia Capital are some of the firms pouring more money into Houzz in this round, this person said. Fortune first reported the size of the round and the valuation.

Houzz was founded in 2009 by CEO Adi Tatarko and her husband Alon Cohen as an online destination for home and decor photos meant to inspire homeowners embarking on renovation projects. Put another way, it’s Pinterest with a narrower focus.

The company’s first revenue streams included advertising and paid listings, which allow contractors, designers and other home service providers to get preferred placement in front of local homeowners browsing the site.

Over time, Houzz also added an e-commerce marketplace where merchants can sell the furniture and decor found in photos. The company makes a commission off of these sales, and a source told Recode that this is the fast-growing piece of its business.

With the new money, Houzz will have raised more than $600 million. And with the new valuation, it is getting increasingly hard to imagine Houzz getting acquired, versus pursuing an eventual IPO.

Correction: An earlier version of this story misstated the year in which Houzz was founded.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
