What we do

LM Ventures owns and operates small, focused brands. Each one serves a single home-service vertical in a single metro, and sends every homeowner request to one local contractor partner — exclusively. We also build data and alert products that turn public records into timely leads for contractors.

  • 01

    One vertical per city

    Focused brands that do one thing well in one place.

  • 02

    Exclusive leads

    Every lead goes to one contractor. Never shared with competitors.

  • 03

    Local partnerships

    We work alongside independent local pros, not against them.

How it works

For homeowners

  1. Request help. Tell us about the problem in a short form.
  2. Get matched. Your request goes to one local pro — not a bidding list.
  3. Get it fixed. The pro contacts you directly to schedule the work.

For contractors

  1. Partner in your city. One contractor per service area.
  2. Receive exclusive leads. Homeowner requests come straight to you.
  3. Win the job. No competing contractors on the same lead.
