Vehya, an easy-to-use mobile app dedicated to automating the installation, repair, and routine maintenance processes for home and small business services, announced the successful completion of a $2.1 million seed funding round. And the funding will enhance the platform’s AI capabilities, expand its service offerings, and accelerate growth in key markets like California, Texas, Florida, Maryland, and Michigan.
The seed funding round was led by Community Reinvestment Fund, USA (CRF), with participation from other investors. And this investment will enable Vehya to develop further its sophisticated AI technology, which streamlines the scheduling, execution, and management of various services, providing a seamless experience for both consumers and contractors.
Vehya transforms the way services are delivered to homes and small businesses in fields such as electrification, HVAC, and plumbing. By utilizing AI, the platform automates the entire lifecycle of service management, from initial request to job completion. And this innovation addresses the common pain points of scheduling conflicts, inconsistent service quality, and lack of transparency.
Vehya’s core innovation lies in its advanced AI algorithms, which match consumers with the best-suited contractors based on the specific needs of each job. Whether installing or repairing heat pumps or water heaters, setting up EV chargers, integrating solar panels, or managing battery storage systems, Vehya offers real-time updates, predictive maintenance reminders, and a secure payment system, ensuring a hassle-free experience for all parties involved.
With the new funding round, the company plans to expand its market reach, targeting key regions where demand for automated service solutions in electrification and renewable energy systems is growing rapidly. And the company aims to onboard thousands of skilled contractors and offer a diverse range of services, including plumbing, HVAC, electrical work, and even drywall repairs.
The Vehya suite of technology includes a mobile app for consumers, a dashboard for partners, and a comprehensive vetting process for contractors, ensuring proper insurance, identification, and deployment of qualified professionals. And AI, user reviews, and ratings help maintain a high level of service excellence.
