WorkHero is building the AI-powered back office for the skilled trades.
Tens of thousands of small HVAC businesses across the U.S. are overwhelmed by administrative work. WorkHero pairs experienced office managers with custom-built AI tools to reduce administrative burden and help owners grow thriving businesses.
Why it matters:
-
We are helping local HVAC owners stay independent—growing their businesses and building meaningful wealth for themselves and their families.
-
We are accelerating climate goals by expanding the capacity of small HVAC companies who are responsible for installing the millions of heat pumps our planet needs.
-
We are proving that you can blend human expertise and AI to create exciting roles for our employees and exceptional results for customers.
WorkHero is an early-stage company with exciting traction and strong support from angel investors and Workshop Ventures. Our advisors include Chad Laurans (founder of SimpliSafe, the $1B+ home security company) and Gerald Chertavian (founder of Year Up, a $200M per year non-profit).
