Overview

Daisy provides national home and small-business technology installation and services, including custom audio/visual, shades, control systems, home security and smart lighting design and installation, plus ongoing support and recurring services. The company operates via franchise locations and has invested in acquisitions to grow its branch operations and market presence. Daisy allocates half of each dollar raised to acquire new businesses and half to build systems that support integration, recruiting, retention, marketing, sales, and its tech stack. In its first year, Daisy has completed its 10th acquisition and opened its seventh franchise location, with leading market positions in California and Florida and additional locations in Connecticut, Colorado, Virginia and Arizona. The company emphasizes servicing clients and franchise partners through long-term support and tools to enhance local-branch operations and customer experience. Daisy provides recurring, consistent home-technology installation and services, including audio/video, security systems, smart lighting, automated shades, home networking, and control systems. The company positions itself as the first national smart-home servicing company and has expanded coast-to-coast with nine locations across five states. It has grown through acquisitions and by onboarding franchise locations in multiple regions. Daisy plans to use new funding to expand its support team, branches, and an innovative branch support center, and to continue M&A and franchising. Financially the company is debt-free, reports a $35 million revenue run rate, and has long-term investment partners. Total invested capital to date is over $20 million in its first year. Daisy provides installation and support services for smart home and small business technology, offering personalized business coaching, dedicated technician support, a 24/7 call center, training tools, marketing support, and recurring service offerings. Led by CEO and founder Hagan Kappler, the company supports integrators across setup and operations and has expanded via franchise conversions and acquisitions. Earlier this year Daisy announced franchising availability and converted Brilliant AV in Southern California and Digital Homes in the Tampa Bay area. The company has acquired integration firms serving Connecticut, Northern California, and South Florida and says it is operating coast-to-coast. Daisy aims to be in at least 16 markets this year with plans for nationwide coverage by 2025. The firm raised new capital to support partner onboarding and to develop its branch support center. Daisy provides home automation products, services, and software designed to help individuals and families use technology in their homes. The company partners with home automation companies, entrepreneurs and technicians to deliver its offerings. Daisy says it is building the first national brand in home automation with clear, simple solutions. Its platform aims to connect families, remote workers, and business owners to one another, best practices, and coaching. The company is led by CEO and founder Hagan Kappler and is based in Newport Beach, CA. Daisy intends to use its Seed funding to expand operations and broaden its business reach.
