(Co-Founder & CEO), Sacha Schmitz (Co-Founder) ## Core Business - Primary industry: Home services software / Marketing automation for trade contractors - Target customers: B2B – SMBs and mid-market contractors in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and drain services - Mission/purpose: “Accelerate the biggest infrastructure transition in human history” – enabling home services operators to adopt the right upgrades at the right time through data, automation, and financing. ## Products & Services - **Arch Platform (AI Revenue Software)**: End-to-end marketing automation that ingests data from ServiceTitan, analyzes customer health, identifies churn risks, and automatically runs retention and lead-generation campaigns. Includes email and direct mail execution, A/B testing, and full attribution tracking. - **AI-Lead Discovery**: Machine learning that analyzes permits, property data, and market signals to surface high-intent prospects before competitors. - **Precision Diagnostics**: Benchmarking tool that compares a contractor’s performance against proprietary industry data (thousands of contractors) to pinpoint churn gaps and upsell opportunities. - **Automated Retention Campaigns**: Detect at-risk customers and re-engage them with personalized offers without manual intervention. ## Market Standing - **Valuation**: Not disclosed - **Key Metric (Funding)**: $6.2M total (Pre-Seed Feb 2023 + Seed Feb 2024) - **Notable Investors / Partners**: Backed by leading investors (5 investors in Seed round; names not publicly disclosed). Closely integrated with ServiceTitan. - **Growth Signals**: - Headcount grew 42.9% YoY (now 8 employees) - Website traffic up 232.5% month-over-month and 193.3% year-over-year - Customer case study: Pacific Heating & Cooling generated ~$138K in new pipeline in 36 days at ~11x ROI - Two active job postings as of mid-2026 (Founding GTM and Founding Account Executive) ## Competitive Advantages - **Trade‑specific specialization**: Built exclusively for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and drain contractors, not generic business software. - **Deep ServiceTitan integration**: Native connection means data stays in sync and attribution is accurate. - **Proprietary benchmark data**: Industry’s most comprehensive performance database from thousands of contractors, enabling precise diagnostic recommendations. - **Autonomous execution**: Runs end-to-end campaigns (list building, printing, mailing, A/B testing, attribution) with no need for agencies or extra headcount. - **Unique external data sources**: Incorporates permits, real estate transactions, and financial signals to build a complete market picture. ## Strategic Focus - Scale the “Autonomous Revenue Engine” to help home services operators capture market share without increasing headcount. - Expand AI lead discovery and predictive analytics to reduce customer churn (industry average is 36% annual churn; best contractors achieve 8%). - Continue vertical integration with ServiceTitan and potentially add more home services verticals (e.g., drain). - Fundraising likely later as growth accelerates (current seed stage). ## Why Work Here - **Culture & values**: Camaraderie (supportive, assume best intentions), Ownership (ask forgiveness, not permission), Urgency & Focus (bias for action, address climate challenges), and Excellence (continuous learning, high standards). - **Team size & impact**: Tiny, fast-moving team (~8 people) – early employees will have outsized ownership and influence. - **Work environment**: San Francisco headquarters with international presence (Ireland). Likely in‑office or hybrid given the early stage; specific remote policy not stated. - **Perks / engineering culture**: Opportunities to shape the product from the ground up (“founding” roles), work on climate‑critical infrastructure transition, and build AI/ML features that drive real revenue outcomes for contractors. - **Recent job openings**: Founding GTM role and Founding Account Executive (as of May/June 2026). Ideal for candidates who thrive in extreme pace and high autonomy. ## Sources 1. [getarch.com (homepage)](https://getarch.com/) 2. [getarch.com/about](https://getarch.com/about) 3.
