After an EV-software startup and a turn through Y Combinator, the Broccoli AI co-founder found his next company in Sacramento plumbing shops - listening first, building second, and turning missed calls into booked jobs.
Broccoli AI builds an AI-native operating system for home service businesses - plumbers, HVAC companies, and electricians. Its AI voice agents answer phones 24/7, book jobs in real time, follow up on leads, and flag emergencies, integrating directly with CRMs like ServiceTitan. Founded in 2021 by AJ Jain and Aditya Ketkar and part of Y Combinator's W22 batch, the company has grown to serve 800+ contractors and raised a $25M Series A led by Khosla Ventures.
