The company is in the process of funding a venture capital round of financing.〔(Tuck Today article on the Franklin Report )〕
==History==
The Franklin Report was started by Elizabeth Franklin, the current CEO. While a partner on Wall Street, she managed a significant renovation of her family's Manhattan residence. With the coming of the Internet and the disappointment of an incompetent architect and an unreliable contractor, she conceived of the value of rating service for home renovation.〔(New York Times article on the Franklin Report )〕 The first edition, published in 2001, was based upon the recommendations of her friends and Christmas card list. New York was the first city with Los Angeles following in 2003. Chicago was published in 2005 and Connecticut/Westchester in 2007. Southeast Florida: Palm Beach to Miami was the first edition to be published solely online. The next announced editions will be San Francisco and Atlanta.〔(Tuck Today article on the Franklin Report )〕
For two years, Franklin wrote a column in House Beautiful called "Ask Betsy."〔(Ask Betsy column in House Beautiful )〕 In 2003, Franklin won the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce New Business Award.
