Чем занимается BuildZoom

BuildZoom is a better way to remodel. We connect homeowners to the most reliable general contractors in their area and make remodeling simpler, cheaper and more predictable. Our technology harvests public data on every licensed contractor in the United States, including license information, building permits, bond and insurance information and other government records. We use this public data along with private data gleaned from past BuildZoom marketplace interactions to evaluate contractor quality, availability, and fit for each construction project. Our goal is to help project owners arrive at several competitive bids from highly qualified and experienced construction companies to ensure a fair price and a successful project. We build tools to help contractors look their best online, manage their lead pipeline, seamlessly interact with project owners, and compose professional bid proposals.

Connect homeowners to reliable contractors

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

We built a platform that uses public data on licensed contractors across the US combined with data from past marketplace interactions to match homeowners with reliable general contractors. Our product simplifies the remodeling process by helping users find vetted contractors, get competitive bids, and manage their projects more predictably.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company would be based here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in San Francisco because it's where we live and where there is a concentration of tech talent and potential users familiar with online marketplaces for local services.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

Это реальная заявка BuildZoom в YC?

Нет. Y Combinator держит поданные заявки в приватности. Это реконструкция: реальные вопросы формы YC, ответы на которые основаны на публичных данных BuildZoom (заметки о запуске, бэкграунд фаундеров, описание продукта). Это показывает, как компания вроде BuildZoom представила бы себя YC, а не текст, который они подали.
