Home Services Startups funded by Y Combinator (YC) 2026

Bernard builds AI employees for home and commercial appliance servicers. They work across phone, text, email, warranty feeds, and existing systems to manage customer communication, scheduling, and dispatch, carrying each job through diagnosis, parts preparation, technician handoff, and follow-up. At the center is Pre-ID, which combines the exact appliance and its symptoms with repair history, similar completed visits, manufacturer guidance, and parts data to produce a diagnosis, ranked parts, and follow-up questions. Technicians arrive prepared with the right parts, helping servicers complete more repairs on the first visit. We’re building the world’s most efficient appliance servicers, creating happier customers and a more connected appliance ecosystem. Learn more at https://bernardhq.com/

Field technicians are bad at documenting their jobs, which paralyzes the back office. Kebra ends that. We capture what happens in the field and collect the exact job details the back office needs. Before the truck leaves the driveway, Kebra turns every job into complete notes, filed warranty claims, parts orders, and follow-up sales opportunities. Over time, every job feeds your Company Brain, so your best technicians’ expertise never leaves the company.

Home services companies lose money on missed calls and idle techs. When the phone rings during a job and nobody picks up, that lead goes to a competitor and the trucks already on the road sit half-booked because dispatch can't keep the schedule tight. CentralComs fixes this with AI agents that answer every call, route each job to the right technician, and keep the calendar full. They handle intake, dispatch, and customer updates end to end working inside ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, and Jobber so no lead slips through and no truck runs empty. Capture every call. Book every tech. Never miss a job.

Bravi is building the AI operating system for home-services businesses, using AI-powered customer communication as the wedge. We replace the front office (calls, chats, follow-ups) with AI agents that never miss a lead, then layer an internal AI copilot that understands products, pricing, and technical documentation. We started with fenestration (shutters, windows, garage doors), a large, complex vertical with no modern software, before expanding to adjacent trades. Bravi is already live with leading installers and manufacturers across Europe and the US, turning missed demand into revenue.

HVAC, plumbing, roofing, and electrical companies spend $3K–$25K every month making the phone ring - then lose 10–20% of those leads to slow response times, missed calls, and zero follow-up. The revenue was already there. It just walked out the back door. Cactus closes that gap on both sides. Inbound: Every call answered in under 60 seconds, 24/7 qualified and booked directly into Housecall Pro, Jobber, FieldEdge, or ServiceTitan. No voicemails. No missed jobs. Outbound: Warm leads, dormant customers, and unworked estimates get proactively contacted - driving repeat jobs, cross-sells, upsells, and referrals without adding headcount. The result: 20–30% more jobs from the ad budget you're already spending. What that looks like in practice: → Roofing company, NC | $299K collected in 10 weeks. $1.41M pipeline created. 199× ROI. $48K of that revenue came in after hours — while the office was closed. → Plumbing & HVAC company, UT | $180K confirmed revenue in 4 months. 90× ROI. 58% of captured leads came after hours — jobs that would have gone to voicemail now go straight into the CRM. → General contracting company | Grew from 11 jobs/month to 72 in a single month — 555% growth. $2.09M invoiced. $1.82M collected. Zero new hires. → Roofing & siding company | $228K pipeline in 75 days. 92% of calls converted to hot leads. $804K in net sales during the Cactus period. 49 spam calls filtered automatically — hours of staff time saved. → Commercial signage company | $398K pipeline generated in 10 weeks. 111× ROI on $3,597 invested. Grew from 0% to 30% share of total company pipeline in a single month. If we don't add revenue, we don't stay. That's the only way this works. The $150B home services industry is still running on voicemail and spreadsheets. We're building the system that changes that - one answered call at a time.
