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.

Verdict

Medium Signal
Market Opportunity
US home services (HVAC, plumbing, pool) is a massive fragmented market — estimated $600B+ industry with hundreds of thousands of SMB operators. The ICP is clear: home service companies using field technicians and office management software like ServiceTitan. Monetization path is straightforward SaaS per-tech pricing. However, the market skews toward smaller SMBs which can limit deal size and create high churn risk.
High Signal
Founder Signal
Vineet is a strong technical founder: founding engineer at Cloud Health Systems (Apoorva Mehta's company, acquired by Dr. B), 3.5 years as Senior SWE at Affinity, Uber internship — solid engineering pedigree. Feroze was founding engineer at Porter (YC S20) and SWE at Ironclad (YC S15), both relevant B2B SaaS companies. Joe brings 3.5 years at Bain with direct home services strategy and PE software diligence experience — unusually domain-relevant consulting background that's not just generic MBA fluff. All three dropped out of HBS to go full-time, which is a commitment signal.
Medium Signal
Competition
ServiceTitan itself is the 800-pound gorilla in field service management and could build or acquire similar features. Other AI-for-trades competitors include Hatch (AI follow-up for home services), Laxis, and various CRM/FSM players adding AI layers. Robby's differentiation is the technician-side AI assistant plus revenue intelligence layer, which is a narrower wedge than full FSM. The ServiceTitan integration is smart but also creates platform dependency risk.
Medium Signal
Product
Multiple named paying customer logos visible (Barrett Plumbing & Heating, Blue Knight Comfort Services, Lake Norman Pool and Spa, Minuteman, MPD, etc.), ROI calculator on site, and ServiceTitan integration shown. Claims $135k additional revenue per tech per year and '$40k in new business within an hour' on launch day, plus 'several paying customers uncovering 6 figures in additional revenue opportunities every week' — but no hard MRR/ARR numbers disclosed and no API docs or live demo visible.
OverallB Tier

Robby has a genuinely strong founding team — two technical co-founders with real founding-engineer experience at venture-backed companies plus a domain-specialist from Bain who did actual home services work, not just generic consulting. They've done the legwork (riding along with techs, studying for EPA 608). Early traction is real with multiple named paying customers and credible revenue claims. The core risk is strategic: they're essentially an AI layer on top of ServiceTitan in a fragmented SMB market where deal sizes are small and ServiceTitan can squash them. The product needs to show it can hold defensible ground as the incumbents add AI features, and the team needs to demonstrate they can scale past the initial handful of customers before this becomes a clear winner.
