Aether

Aether is an AI-native sales and go-to-market platform built specifically for home services and field trades, including roofing, HVAC, landscaping, solar, and fire mitigation.

At its core, Aether replaces fragmented tools and manual front-office work with a single, integrated system that manages the entire contractor sales lifecycle. From targeting the right buildings and capturing inbound leads, to designing the job, generating proposals, following up, and closing, Aether centralizes every step into one AI-powered workflow.

The platform combines several capabilities that are typically spread across multiple products. Its AI CRM and GTM engine automatically creates and enriches deals, scores leads, and drives next-best actions through agent-assisted follow-ups. The Design Studio uses aerial imagery, LiDAR, and computer vision to generate trade-specific layouts and measurements in minutes, eliminating site visits and CAD bottlenecks. Proposals are generated instantly with dynamic pricing, financing options, and e-signatures, while live updates and automated follow-ups reduce drop-off and shorten sales cycles.

Aether is designed to scale contractor operations without scaling headcount. AI agents run inside workflows to send reminders, update quotes, surface risks, and move deals forward. Built-in analytics and natural-language dashboards give real-time visibility into pipeline health, rep activity, and close rates without spreadsheets or manual reporting.

The platform is modular and API-driven, allowing contractors and partners to use the full stack or integrate individual components such as roof measurement reports, online estimators, workflow automation, or design tools into their existing systems. SDKs and APIs enable deeper customization and embedding into external applications.

Founded in 2023 by engineers and product leaders from companies including Sunrun, Dolby Labs, and Spire Global, Aether raised $2.5 million in pre-seed funding after completing Y Combinator. The company positions itself as the GTM engine for trades, helping contractors close jobs faster, reduce costs, and increase margins by automating the front office with AI.
