Key Investor Questions
Clear answers to common investor concerns for confident engagement
Why only $3M?
Enough to reach profitability + 100 offices without dilution; self-funded beyond.
How do you defend the $5K price?
It replaces 6 tools and 20 hours of labor per job — Recover is a profit engine.
Competition?
Verisk/Cotality = Embedded Powers with sizable gaps in service offering that they're not closing.
Gross margin?
~70% software, >80% by month 9 with rails margin.
Exit path?
CoreLogic / Verisk / ServiceTitan / Procore / PE (Vista, Accel-KKR).
Why now?
IICRC standards + carrier pressure = timing window for compliance automation.
Recover is the operating system for restoration and reconstruction. A trillion-dollar industry still runs on phone calls and Excel. We built Recover to replace that friction with a guided, compliant, data-driven workflow that connects field techs, project managers, and carriers. Our Marketplace and Recover Cash turn every job into a transaction stream, making the platform self-funding. We're raising $3M on a $15M cap SAFE to reach 100 offices, $6M+ ARR, and profitability in 2027. By next year, Recover will be the default standard for restoration workflows throughout the Paul Davis network and an emerging option in competing Franchise networks.
