Rize is building the next-generation operating system for home services businesses.
The future will look like a network of users customizing the workflows connecting point solutions. Enabling and incentivizing a network is the only way to cover both broad and deep use cases across the dozens of home services verticals.
Excel and Zapier give a glimpse into what this vision might look like: a domain-specific programming language designed for non-technical users where complex functionality can be made by composing atomic point solutions.
We were founded in April 2024 and raised [undisclosed] in pre-seed funding in June. You’ll be joining us to launch and scale our initial first-party apps and be there when we flip into a platform.
Home services is a $650B market in the United States with growing demand and a shrinking labor pool. Skilled labor is aging out of the workforce and fewer people are entering the trades, especially in the United States. Improving employee productivity is every home services business owner’s #1 priority and it’s the underlying force that drives owners to want software that works well together on their terms.
The vertical software systems in this market are similar to Salesforce / ERPs and span use cases like dispatch, CRM, payments, payroll, and more.
This is a huge critical market typically overlooked by Silicon Valley, despite its importance to our livelihoods. Home ownership in the US has peaked since 2020, and the housing inventory is aging as people continue to live in their homes as they get older. Home services includes lawn care, HVAC, pest control, plumbing, electricians, solar, roofing, pool cleaning, and much more.
