Group buying for home insulation, street by street
Home owners put off insulating because quotes are confusing and expensive, while installers waste days driving between single jobs.
Hearth signs up a whole street at once, negotiates one price and schedules the installer to do every house in the same week.
Owners of houses built before 1990.
Bottom-up: about 120,000 customers like this in Belgium and nearby, worth roughly $280 million a year at our prices.
What people use today
Mostly spreadsheets, phone calls and doing nothing. The established suppliers sell to large organisations and are too expensive and too slow to set up for the customers we serve.
Why this team wins
Lotte organised neighbourhood energy schemes for a city council, so the team knows the buyers by name. Bram built the core technology, and the first customers came by referral.
2,900 active users, growing 21% a month
Lotte knows the customer and has sold to them before; Bram has built this kind of system at scale. We have worked side by side since before Hearth had a name.
