About

Robby is an AI growth engine for home services businesses that uncovers revenue opportunities and collects additional data from every technician visit. Our AI combines customer and third party data to generate dozens of new leads every day, and then arms the technicians with talking points to increase close rates, giving GMs a single command center to manage and drive revenue. We have several paying customers that are each uncovering 6 figures in additional revenue opportunities every week. On our first day of launch, we helped close $40k in new business within an hour. Our team has spent the last few months riding along with dozens of technicians and shadowing every position in the office to best understand the industry. We're also studying for the EPA 608 exam to become certified technicians ourselves. Vineet and Feroze have both built critical products and infra at prominent startups (Ironclad, Porter, Affinity, Uber, Cloud Health Systems). Joe previously consulted PE firms on software acquisitions and led home services growth projects at Bain. We all met at Harvard Business School, and dropped out to work on Robby full-time.
