Daisy

A big thank you to The Wolf of Franchises for the support - and for all of the incredible content you bring to the world of franchising on an ongoing basis.

Thanks Netsertive for such an engaging conversation and for spotlighting our brand building journey!

✨ Today is International Women's Day! 🌼 At Daisy, we take pride in being built on a diverse foundation, with women in general management, sales, marketing, finance, technology and more. With Hagan Kappler leading the way, nearly 50% of our leadership team roles are held by women and we consistently support bringing more women into our amazing industry. We recognize their impact every day as we work to bring exceptional technology and services into the homes of tens of thousand of our valued clients (many of whom are women). ✨ Today, we celebrate the future we’re building together. #InternationalWomensDay #womenintechnology Erin Thomas Kristy Morgan Danielle Jordan Sasha Marina Reyes Annette Fisher-Adams, Tracy Dettmer, Claire Wallters, Paula Scott Alyssa Aguad Alicia Johnson Suzanne Keoghan Jessica Thumati, CPA Megan Torrel Lori Judkins Emily Small Mallory M.

Smart homes aren’t just about convenience anymore. They’re about control. Security. Seamless automation. And for Daisy, they’re about building the first national franchise model for #smarthomeservices, because let’s be honest, your local “guy who does installs” isn’t cutting it anymore. Daisy just locked in a $15M Series C, led by Fifth Down Capital’s Andrew M. Spellman, with backing from Goldcrest Capital, Bungalow Capital, Bullish, and Burst Capital. That brings total funding to $35M and fuels a game plan that’s scaling faster than the Wi-Fi in a billionaire’s mansion. Hagan Kappler and Dion Persson aren’t just in the #smarthome game, they’re redesigning it. The old model? Scattered, unreliable, and completely lacking infrastructure. Daisy’s model? A powerhouse system of acquisitions and franchises, backed by a 24/7 support network, a proprietary tech stack, and a recurring service model that keeps customers locked in, not just for the install, but for the long haul. Ten acquisitions deep (Brilliant AV - powered by Daisy, Digital Homes, cyberManor - powered by Daisy, and counting) and already running seven franchise locations across California, Florida, Connecticut, Colorado, Virginia, and Arizona, Daisy is on pace to hit 16 markets by the end of 2025. Nationwide? That’s not a dream - it is the blueprint. The demand is there. Sixty percent of #homeowners want professional smart home setup, and Daisy isn’t just answering the call, they’re building the call center. But here’s what really separates them: this isn’t just a tech play. It’s a business model play. Franchise support systems that include #businesscoaching, #recruitingtools, and #marketinginfrastructure. A recurring revenue stream from service plans that cover 22+ devices per home. Partnerships with #luxuryhomedesigners to integrate automation at the construction phase. Daisy isn’t betting on one-time installs. They’re owning the full lifecycle, setup, optimization, maintenance, and expansion. This $15M injection is set to fuel even more acquisitions and fortify the franchise backbone. Half the capital is earmarked for buying out regional leaders. The other half? Strengthening the engine. #LMStrainingplatforms, 24/7 tech support, and a seamless system for turning local specialists into national operators. With a $20M annual run rate and momentum that makes it hard to ignore, Daisy isn’t just another smart home company. They’re the infrastructure behind the future of connected living. #Startups #StartupFunding #SmartHomes #ConnectedHomes #IoT #VentureCapital #PropTech #ConstructionTech #Technology #Innovation #TechEcosystem #StartupEcosystem

We’re thrilled to share that Daisy has secured an additional $15 million in Series C funding, bringing our total investment to $35 million. This additional funding enables us to further invest in innovative tools and resources that enhance the experience for our local branches, their teams and Technicians -- and through them, the clients we serve. It's all about building a company that prioritizes both exceptional service and enduring relationships. A huge thank you to our investors Fifth Down Capital, Goldcrest Capital Bungalow Capital, Burst Capital and Summit Peak Investments, LLC, our franchisees, and team members who have worked so hard to make this possible. It's just over a year since our very first acquisition and franchisee helped us to create the foundation of the Daisy network ... from CT to CA. And we couldn't be more excited for what's to come! https://lnkd.in/eFHDeFRH Hagan Kappler Shiv Krishnan Mallory M.

We had the privilege of hosting the NKBA Orange County’s recent chapter event and truly appreciated the opportunity to connect with so many talented design professionals. It was inspiring to learn about the latest in the design world and showcase our solutions, including our new Ketra Lounge.

Amazing work, Austin!

Just goes to show the importance of branding... our #IFA panel topic "Responsible Franchising While Maximizing Outcomes for Shareholders" wasn't boring at all! Important topic and solid discussion thanks to Dairy Queen COO Nicolas Boudet, Purpose Brands, LLC and Anytime Fitness co-founder David Mortensen, and moderator Ned Lyerly. Thanks for having me! #FranCon2025 Daisy Gavin Lantzy Brian Wiersma, DBA, PMP Rebecca Hochreiter Shiv Krishnan
