About Broccoli 🥦 At Broccoli, we're building AI teammates for the people who build and maintain our world.

Before we wrote a single line of code, we visited more than 140 contractors to understand how these businesses truly operate. That firsthand experience shaped everything we've built. Today: Hundreds of contractors rely on Broccoli every day. We've grown to $15M+ ARR in under two years.
