Episode 60: "Homee" the Uber of Property Maintenance with Dave Theus!
Description
Steve flies solo to interview Dave Theus, co-founder of Homee (H-O-M-E-E), an on-demand property maintenance platform that dispatches HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and handyman pros to your door in 28 minutes or less - all billed by the clock with no minimum charge. The origin story: Dave cracked a copper pipe remodeling his bathroom on a Friday night, couldn't get his plumber friend out before Tuesday at $150, and realised the trades needed an Uber-style disruption. His co-founder Doug had a similar crisis with a broken AC and three kids in 90-degree Florida heat.
The episode walks through how Homee works (flat dispatch fee, then pay by the minute), the two-way rating system that ties a pro's hourly wage to their star rating, and why senior female Airbnb hosts are a perfect demographic match. Dave explains the Series A raise ($11 million, including Home Depot), the controlled expansion into 19 states with 5,000 vetted pros, and why they meet providers face-to-face before launching a market. Steve pitches adding cleaning and landscaping services - turns out those launches are already planned for 2018-2019. The promo code "LiveLetThrive" gets listeners $25 off their first job.
