Sponsored by: ð¥ The Morning Meetup Video ð Hey Boardroom Members, Anyone else spend their childhood watching their parents argue over home improvement projects because Dad refused to admit that he didnât actually know how to fix the broken dishwasher? Good ole Mom and Dad! In the south we would say- âBless their heartsâ. ð To help other families avoid World War III in their own houses, Matt Ehrichman co-founded [Porch]( â an online home improvement network connecting homeowners with qualified professionals. The Porch website allows you to compare services from insurance providers, plumbers, professional movers, and just about every other home improvement service you can imagine. The website currently lists over 3,000 active professionals across the U.S. to provide home services fulfillment for their customers, Porch offers the option to partner with large retailers like Loweâs, Wayfair, and Pottery Barn or to communicate directly with a service provider. All of these services can be easily booked on the website and most bookings do not even require phone calls (a win for the introverts). In its early days, [Porch]( was a small, scrappy startup, doing a lot with a little. The company [used folding tables and leftover chairs]( and employees had to bring their own laptops! As it grew rapidly, so did the investment dollars, peaking in 2015 with a company value of $500 million. Unfortunately, that same year, the company laid off 20 percent of its staff [as part of a broader strategy change](. In 2016, Porch had gone from a peak size of [500 people down to about 250.]( After focusing on profitability and building a stronger product for a few years, Porch started rebuilding. Fortunately for those of us who have no home improvement skills, [Porch]( surpassed their 2015 peak number of employees in 2018 and they have been growing ever since. Lucky us â we no longer have to worry about yielding the wrench and accidentally ruining the pipes. With the housing market currently as high as it is, more people are settling for more affordable fixer-uppers. Now, more than ever, people need help turning their houses into homes. This is where Porch comes in. Whether youâre feeling confident in your abilities to follow instructions from Youtube or not, you should probably play it safe and hire a professional. Check out the [Porch]( website to compare professionals in your area and make the most affordable, informed decision. So check out Porch or other home improvement companies as the house flipping trend shows no signs of slowing down. Sponsored By: Speaking of DIY projects, farmers have been attempting to collect their own field data for centuries â wasting hours upon hours collecting information that may not even be accurate. Itâs about time they hand over this job to the professionals: sensors and software created by [GroGuru](. GroGuru is an A[gTech]( company making sensors and software that help farmers know how much water and fertilizer their crops need. The company buries sensors in the soil that connect to software to communicate all of the information back to the farmers. This technology helps farmers with strategic water management -- increasing crop yield and ultimately lowering the cost of food. According to the United States Department of Agriculture ([USDA](), over 38 million people (including 12 million children) experience food insecurity. That means that nearly 12% of Americans do not know where their next meal will come from or when they will get to eat again. These numbers skyrocketed after COVID-19 caused a rise in poverty as lockdowns devastated countless families. Pandemic restrictions also disrupted food supplies, causing some of the steep increases in food prices that we are seeing today. By making farming more sustainable, [GroGuru]( is making food more accessible in an increasingly difficult economic environment. Good luck trying to DIY that! Although farmers are typically big DIYers, the technologies offered by GroGuru are slowly tempting even the most stubborn farmers to trade in their plows and let the professionals (GroGuru technologies) do what they do best. The positive effects of sustainable farming continue to flood into the economy, increasing rates of food security â keeping more and more people from going hungry. Check out everything the company is up to [HERE]( to learn more about how they are aiding the hunger crisis and monetizing this opportunity!
