At Homejoy, we learned the hard way that building our own phone system was a mistake, as it led to more complaints than actual customer calls. Instead, using specialized third-party tools improved our customer service experience significantly.

After exploring various ideas, we realized that booking a cleaning service was inconvenient and the industry hadn't changed in over 60 years, leading us to create Homejoy.

I'm developing a service called Lauren, where I will come into your home, set up devices, and monitor your needs to create a more personalized smart home experience.

Core values should be unique to your company and serve as a hiring framework, guiding the recruitment process when you can no longer interview every candidate personally. At Homejoy, nobody is above any job, which means I seek people who respect others regardless of their roles, from contractors to engineers.
