The $4.5 Billion HVAC Empire Two Guys Named Johnson and Stone Never Saw Coming
It started as one refrigeration shop in Portland with a name stitched from its two founders. Seventy years later it moves heat pumps, compressors and thermostats through 450-plus branches - and the contractors who buy from it once owned the whole thing.
RentBetter
RentBetter is an Australian proptech company that gives everyday landlords the same tools and services real estate agents use to lease and manage residential property - advertising, tenant screening, digital leases, rent collection, inspections and maintenance - in one online platform, at a fraction of a traditional property manager's cost. Founded in Sydney in 2016 by Jeremy Goldschmidt, it targets the roughly 2.2 million Australians who own investment property and want to self-manage without paying ongoing management fees.
Field Complete
Field Complete is an Atlanta-based software company that builds a field service management platform for home-service and trade businesses - HVAC, plumbing, electrical, appliance repair, landscaping, painting, property maintenance and more. Founded by contractors-turned-founders, the product lets small crews schedule and dispatch jobs, estimate and invoice on-site, collect payments, and - unusually - sub-contract portions of a work order to other companies while keeping full visibility. It launched with a free tier and paid plans, and integrates with QuickBooks and Stripe. The company has since begun operating under the brand Mr Task.
Snapfix
Snapfix is a Dublin-founded, photo-first maintenance and operations platform that turns messy building management into a stream of simple photos, tags, messages, and red-yellow-green traffic lights. Built for hotels, facilities, universities, and manufacturing sites, it lets frontline teams raise a work order by snapping a photo or scanning a QR code, then track it to completion at a glance. Founded in 2019 by software engineer and property manager Paul McCarthy, Snapfix counts Hilton, Marriott, Radisson, OCS, and DHL among its users and has raised roughly $3.76M-$4.76M in funding on a mission to become the maintenance platform for the world.
At Home (WelcomeAtHome)
WelcomeAtHome is a residential property management company based in Eindhoven that maintains and manages hundreds of high-quality homes for short- and long-term rental across the south of the Netherlands. It handles the full lifecycle of letting a home - tenant screening, key handovers, inspections, maintenance coordination, and administration - so that, in its own words, both tenant and landlord benefit when real estate is really well arranged.
