WorkHero, founded in 2023 and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, builds AI-powered tools for the skilled trades sector. The company raised $5 million in seed funding to develop its core offering: a back office platform tailored to small HVAC businesses in the United States.
The platform combines human office managers with custom AI agents to handle administrative workflows that typically consume significant owner time. These tasks include invoicing, permitting, rebate processing, equipment registration, warranty claims, and pricebook updates. The system integrates with existing field-service and accounting software such as Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, Jobber, and QuickBooks.
WorkHero targets the more than 80,000 small HVAC businesses operating in the US, a market in which roughly 85% of firms employ fewer than 20 people. According to the company, business owners in this segment spend upwards of 20 hours per week on back-office administration. The company's technical focus centres on AI automation.
