About Topline Pro

We’re building AI-powered Shopify for service professionals. We empower service pros (e.g., roofers, landscapers, painters, cleaners) to acquire direct business, fast. Up and running within minutes using Gen AI, our digital storefront products help pros get discovered, trusted, and booked repeatedly.

Topline Pro is co-founded by  Nick Ornitz (CEO) and  Shannon Kay (CPO) with an excellent team of 40+, including VP of Engineering, Goss Nuzzo-Jones , with plans to expand more in 2025. We serve thousands of local service businesses and were named as one of the  Top 50 Tech Companies building for SMBs in both 2023and 2024 .

We're backed by leading investors including Y Combinator and Forerunner Ventures (Series A 2023) with several years of runway, and we’ve experienced rapid growth in the past year.

About our Customer

Home service business owners have historically paid thousands for services that now can be delivered faster and at a fraction of the cost through Topline Pro.

Topline Pro has generated over $200 million in business for our customers across thousands of businesses in nearly all 50 states. Examples of some of our favorite stories include those of Jered, a landscaper in Daytona Beach, FL, who grew his business from $70k to over $2.2M , and Lauren, a painter in Adrian, MI, who started and grew her business to nearly $1M. Both in about a year of working with Topline Pro.

Our customers tend to be in the field and on the move, which drives our ardent focus on simple and intuitive yet powerful mobile web app design today, and in the future, native mobile app design. We've found innovative ways to meet our customers where they are both inside and outside our application.
