Local firm Porch, an online platform for residential real estate services including home repairs, went public last fall. Now it's announced four pending acquisitions. It plans to pay about $100 million, in cash and stock, for the insurer Homeowners of America of Texas. The firm is considered a business-to-business-to-consumer operation, or B2B2C. Porch founder and CEO Matt Ehrlichman said in a statement, “HOA is a great business with a deep and experienced leadership team who have spent more than a decade building a growing, profitable, and innovative managing general agent and insurance company hybrid. Porch will also acquire the marketing and data platform V12, of Boston, which is a software-as-a-service operation, or (SaaS). That stock and cash deal is expected to close at up to $28 million, also in the second quarter. In two smaller deals, Porch will acquire PalmTech, a home inspection platform, and iRoofing.
