Fergus was founded in 2011 by Dan Pollard, a veteran tradesman from New Zealand. Frustrated by the lack of visibility into his plumbing business's financial position, Pollard developed Fergus to address the unique challenges faced by tradespeople. 

Fergus has raised approximately $20.2 million in funding from investors including Octopus Ventures, Equity Venture Partners, and Microequities Asset Management. In 2022, the company secured NZ$15 million (approximately $13.5 million USD) to accelerate its expansion into the UK market, achieving a valuation just shy of $100 million.
