Mission: Drillbit’s mission is to make housing more affordable

How: Residential contractors spend exorbitant amounts on customer acquisition due to wasteful human-driven administrative practices. This inefficiency inflates the cost of basic services, hurting everyone in America. Drillbit provides AI office workers to eliminate that waste, and allow businesses to get back to the work they were hired for.

Stage: Drillbit is a YC startup that has raised $4.4 million. Mason, our AI employee, has generated over $120M in GMV for our customers across over 100k opportunities. He is booking jobs at a rate 3x greater than the best human CSRs at a small fraction of their cost. In the past 12 months, Drillbit has sustained 42% month-over-month growth, building a $98M ARR sales pipeline.
