About Redcar
The American home services industry is a $543B market, and most of it still runs on people manually juggling schedules, follow-ups, and jobs in progress. Redcar builds Job Horizon Agents: AI that holds full context on a job from first touch to finish, and manages the entire customer experience for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical companies.
We're building the world's only AI that helps home service companies manage their jobs. Our Agents don't just execute a single task; they act as autonomous team members for our customers' businesses, deciding when to act, when to wait, and when to loop in their team member for assistance.
We're led by CEO Jeff Chen, who launched "Hey Google" (now on 3 billion devices), alongside an elite team from Stanford and Princeton. We're backed by Khosla Ventures (early investors in OpenAI, DoorDash, and Affirm) and a select group of angels.
We're scaling fast and building the next unicorn at the center of the AI revolution. We're hiring a small number of exceptional people to get us there - if that's you, let's talk.
