Today is an exciting day!! The company Craig Battin and I founded, was covered today in TechCrunch. We're out of stealth and ready to roll. ?? Airship grew out of experiences I had while CEO of Dandelion Energy. Selling HVAC systems is complicated. A tech wants to make a compelling proposal to the customer, but they also need to deal with sizing issues, rebates, thousands of components, financing options, permits, cooling off laws, and much more all within the span of a few minutes. This was a problem software was built to solve, and Airship is solving it. Airship is a point-of-sale solution for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical companies. We plug into existing field service management systems; create lead scores and expected values; incorporate OEM, state, utility and retailer rebates; facilitate data collection within the home; and provide state of the art manager dashboards to ensure no dollar is left on the table. We're already partnered with ServiceTitan and are working with multiple industry leaders as we bring this solution to market. We're backed by QED Investors, Silence, Four Acres Capital, Lorimer Ventures, and Twine Ventures. We have an awesome team, amazing partners, and a big set of problems to solve. Let's go!! https://lnkd.in/eww-rZNU Amias Gerety, Adams Conrad, Jenny Friedman, Leshika Samarasinghe, Ethan Yeh, Pete Schork, Borja Moreno de los Rios, Guilherme Penna, Stephan Cizmar, Zach Magdovitz, Amanda Peyton, Sarah Israel, Arjun Aggarwal, Albert Lee, Tim Flynn, Jordan Weinberg, Jim Cosmas, James Kupernik, John D., Andrew DeCastro.
