Overview

Founded in 2017 and based in Overland Park, Kan., Lula provides a technology-driven platform that connects property managers and investors with a vetted network of maintenance professionals (Lula Pros). The company operates in 42 markets and has a network of more than 6,000 Lula Pros, including handymen, plumbers, electricians, and HVAC contractors. In 2024 Lula's platform processed over 100,000 work order requests from more than 125 property management customers, demonstrating strong operational traction. Lula is developing Foresight, an AI-powered work order management SaaS product designed to integrate in-house teams, third-party contractors, and Lula Pros into a unified maintenance workflow. The Series A will fund enhancements to Lula's core technology, expansion into additional markets, growth of its Pro network, and further investment in AI capabilities. The company positions itself as a solution to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and increase tenant satisfaction for property owners and managers. Lula is a technology platform that streamlines the maintenance process for single-family and multifamily rental owners, reducing time spent on maintenance by nearly 60%. It integrates with popular property management software to let maintenance coordinators and tenants submit requests that can be evaluated and dispatched to on-site staff or Lula’s large network of fully‑vetted contractors. The solution provides real-time updates, pictures, and service notes to all parties, improving resident experience, eliminating the need for multiple vendors, and reducing costs for property owners, managers, and investors. Lula is currently utilized in more than 40,000 rental units across ten U.S. markets, including Kansas City, Houston, Denver, and Atlanta, and has partnerships with major owner-operators such as Pathlight Property Management, AMG Asset Management Group, FirstKey Homes, and HomeRiver Group. The company says it turned profitable last year and will use the new funding to continue platform growth, expand staff, and roll out its technology into new U.S. markets. Headquartered in Kansas City, Mo., Lula planned to be operational in 20 markets by Q4 2022.
