For Investors

Market Research

Total addressable market for field-service software in the four launch categories (cleaning, painting, pest, lawn care), the serviceable slice we can realistically reach with the founding-operator GTM, and the cited findings that shape our acquisition assumptions.

Market Sizing

TAM is the total field-service software spend across the four launch categories in the United States, assuming every owner-operator in the $250K–$5M revenue band adopts a field-software tool at category-average ACV. SAM narrows TAM to the $250K–$1.5M revenue band where the porch-close wedge is sharpest and the operator does the walk-through themselves. SOM is the revenue PitchPad forecasts capturing in year two given the founding-operator GTM, trade-pub channel, and the realistic pace of one-week concierge onboardings.

Segments inside SAM

Residential cleaning owner-operators — ~38,000 US businesses in the $250K–$1.5M band per IBISWorld 2026 sector report; highest porch-close motion intensity because the walk-through is short and the rate card is standardized. Sourced
Residential painting contractors — ~52,000 US businesses; longer walk-throughs, but the highest ticket size in the SAM and the most acute "I'll email you a quote" decay rate. Sourced
Pest control owner-operators — ~22,000 US businesses; recurring-service contracts dominate, so the wedge here is on-porch upsell, not first-quote close. Modeled
Lawn-care and landscaping owner-operators — ~64,000 US businesses; seasonal, geography-bound, but the highest density of one-truck owner-operators in the target band. Sourced

Key Findings

Owner-operators in the four launch categories lose an estimated 30%–50% of warm leads to slow follow-up after on-site walk-throughs.
