Why join the founding network?

🎯

100% Exclusive Leads

One lead, one contractor. No Angi-style auction where you're bidding against 10 competitors for the same job.

Instant Delivery

Leads hit your phone and inbox the moment a homeowner submits — while the problem is still fresh and urgent.

📋

Pre-Qualified Intent

Every lead includes mold type, affected area size, severity, and location — from our 4-question quiz. You know exactly what you're walking into.

📍

Your Territory, Your Leads

You define the ZIP codes you serve. Leads from outside your area never land in your queue.

🔒

Lock In Before Launch

Founding pricing is locked for 12 months. Contractors who join after launch pay full price — and some territories may already be taken.

💰

No Subscriptions

Pause anytime you're at capacity. Cap your monthly volume. No retainer, no minimum spend.

Frequently asked questions

How much do leads cost for founding contractors?

Founding contractors receive their first 5 leads at no charge. After that, leads are $50–$75 each — locked in for your first 12 months. Standard pricing at launch will be $75–$150/lead. This discount is only available to contractors who join during the founding phase.

How are leads delivered?

Leads are delivered instantly by email and SMS with the homeowner's name, phone, ZIP code, and a summary of their mold situation — including problem type and severity from our quiz.

Are leads exclusive?

Yes. Each lead goes to a single contractor in the homeowner's area. You are never competing against other contractors for the same lead.

What does "founding contractor" mean?

Founding contractors are the first 5 contractors we onboard in each metro area. In exchange for being early partners, you get the first 5 leads free, locked-in pricing for 12 months, priority lead routing, and the ability to set your service territory before anyone else claims it.

What certifications do I need?

We verify general liability insurance and IICRC S520 compliance. In states with mold remediation licensing requirements, a valid license is required. We confirm this before activating your account.

What happens after the founding phase ends?

Your locked-in pricing stays in place for 12 months from activation. After that, you have the option to renew at the rate in effect at that time — but you will always have priority over new contractors in your territory.

Can I pause or cap my lead volume?

Yes. You can pause anytime, cap your monthly lead count, or restrict to specific ZIP codes. There is no penalty for pausing.
