tezclarkeI wanted to build vertical SaaS for pest control, so I took a technician job
I liked that you picked a service that has a relatively low barrier to entry. The real asset are local
operators and referrals. Making them more efficient without being controlled by a big company would be a boon for everyone involved.
Consider being a platform coop with regional operators as members. See https://platform.coop/
I’ve never heard of platform Co-ops. Cool! Lots of people predicted that a beloved local coffee shop was doomed to fail when the workers got a loan and bought it to run as a completely flat cooperative. It’s been a few years and they are absolutely killing it. I’d love to see the tech version of that.
There is still much to be worked out, but some smart people are working on it. See also https://e2c.how/
Thanks! Cool initiative. I’ll look into it.
