Lawnstarter was founded in 2013 by Jonas Weigert, Ryan Farley, Steve Corcoran in Washington, D.C. and later moved to Austin, Texas.[6][7] A year later, they joined Techstars Austin accelerator program.[6][8]

In January 2015, Lawnstarter raised $1 million in seed funding.[8] Later, in the same year, they received an additional investment of $6 as part of Series A funding.[9] By June 2015, they were active in twelve cities of the U.S.[9]

Lawnstarter is also active in research studies, and in 2017, they found in a research study that Austin had enough population to become a new state.[10][11][12]
