We're going to be the first to create a relationship with 80M+ homeowners in the US by saving them money year after year. We've raised $23M from Permanent Capital, Drive Capital, Sequoia, Core VC and The 81 Collection.

Core Values

• Autonomy: Hire people who want to own workstreams outright. Take ownership. Move fast. Measure everything.

• Challenge Convention: Question the default, build the better answer, and refuse to blend in.
