What Remi does

We find roofers more roofs, and homeowners the right roofer. There are over 80 million homes in the US, and eventually, every one of them will need a new roof. Our technology allows contractors to focus on what they do best - getting a repaired roof over homeowners' heads quickly.

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Simplifying roofing for homeowners and roofers

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a platform that matches homeowners with the right roofing contractors and helps roofers find more jobs. Our product solves how complicated and slow it is today to find trusted roofers and schedule timely repairs or replacements. Roofers use our tools to manage projects and get leads, while homeowners get straightforward, fast connections to quality contractors.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Lehi, Utah, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Lehi has a growing tech community and strong access to construction and roofing markets. It's affordable and close to founders' networks. We don't need to be in Silicon Valley to reach our customers or build our product effectively.
