Who says you can’t raise money these days. Lighthouse Capital Partners has put $18 million into home improvement and contractor online listings and review service Angie’s List. That’s after $35 million that Battery Ventures put I earlier this year in April. All told, the company has raised $65 million in the 13 years since it launched.

Angie’s List says it will use the funds to add new categories and to go international. The site added health care providers in March.

The site chargers users a membership fee to access listings. We wrote about Angie's List previously here. Competition includes two IAC sites: Service Magic and Insider Pages.

Angie’s List has 750,000 members in 124 major cities across the United States.
