Matt Aiello Markets the Work Most Software Forgot
At ServiceCore, Matt Aiello has made a marketing career out of looking closely at work that most of the software world barely notices - the routes, invoices, tanks, toilets and trucks that keep local service businesses moving.

The platform aims to become the system of record for the fragmented waste industry, serving roughly 150 haulers across 40 states, and raised a $28M Series B in October 2025 to expand AI-driven route optimization and business intelligence.

Hauler Hero is a New York-based software company building a cloud and AI-powered operating system for waste and recycling haulers. Its all-in-one platform unifies CRM, dispatching, routing, billing, reporting, and a driver mobile app, replacing the decades-old tools that most trash and recycling companies still run on.

A former ServiceTitan sales leader, he and brother-in-law Ben Sikma launched the company in 2020 after watching how outdated the software running garbage trucks really was. Hauler Hero now serves more than 200 hauling companies and has facilitated roughly 35 million trash pickups, raising a $16M Series A led by Frontier Growth in early 2026.
