Cactusの事業内容

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.

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

All-In-One AI Growth Partner. Built for Trades.

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

We built an AI system for HVAC, plumbing, roofing, and electrical contractors that answers every inbound lead call in under 60 seconds, 24/7, and books qualified jobs directly into popular CRMs like Housecall Pro or ServiceTitan. It also proactively contacts warm leads and dormant customers to generate repeat business and upsells without adding staff.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to base the company here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we live and have our network. It also helps us attract the kind of talent and investors who understand the B2B and AI space we operate in.
