Hemdeep identifies and optimally scales startups that address existing pain points in legacy industries through technology, have the potential to become true platforms, and can significantly enhance the sustainability of those industries


“I have high confidence that my investment in this round can return at least a 10x within 5 years.* My confidence stems from a thorough due diligence process, which involved close collaboration with the founders to comprehend the roadmap, rigorous analysis of projections via a bottoms-up financial model, competitive landscape assessment, and proactive risk mitigation strategies.Key factors informing our analysis include:- Large and Growing Market ($60B+): The contractor industry presents a sizable and expanding market, with ample opportunities for growth. Even capturing a modest share of this market could propel Contractor+ to a $100M valuation. Additionally, the platform has the potential to address the industry's skilled labor shortage, further enlarging its market potential.- High Value Proposition: Contractor+ offers compelling value propositions to its target customers. The platform's tools deliver significant benefits at a low cost, translating to high ROI and minimal barriers to entry. Leveraging a strategic approach of hiring top talent in India at competitive salaries allows Contractor+ to maintain low overheads while delivering exceptional value until it has captured a significant share of the market.- Network Effect: The platform's network effect fosters exponential growth and establishes a formidable competitive advantage once critical mass is achieved. This virtuous cycle accelerates user adoption and engagement, enhancing Contractor+'s market position and sustainability.- Strong Founders: The founders possess extensive domain expertise and a track record of success in both the contractor industry and platform development. Their deep understanding of market dynamics, coupled with their entrepreneurial acumen, positions Contractor+ for long-term success. Furthermore, they have been operating in a scrappy manner and have achieved a lot with the small amount of capital raised so far.In summary, Contractor+ embodies a compelling investment opportunity, poised for substantial growth and market leadership. With a robust foundation, strong value proposition, and visionary leadership, I am confident in our ability to realize significant returns on our investment within a relatively short timeframe.**NOTE: Forward-looking projections cannot be guaranteed.”

We owe the growth of Contractor+ to the support of our 2021 Wefunder investors!

Our team is lead by two Co-Founders who met in 2009 on Fiverr, when Justin needed help with an SEO pricing algorithm he was working on. Roshan helped complete the project, which was later acquired by WebDev.com. In 2013, Justin boarded a flight to Mumbai, and the duo have worked together ever since.

In an industry poised for transformation, Contractor+ stands at the confluence of innovation and necessity.

Our product today is already helping thousands of contractors manage and grow their businesses...

But then there's what we're BUILDING....

The world is rapidly changing for the better in the direction of the singularity. Soon, professionals will expect to be able to speak into their device and have everything done for them instantly. Tasks that once took hours to complete, now only take seconds. So we've filed a non-provisional utility patent in the US and India on our proprietary AI that will completely disrupt the estimation process for contractors (or the Tesla robot equivalent which we will 100% integrate with).

* The $100k in 12 months assumes we complete our target raise. If we raise our base raise, we've forecasted $50K MRR in the same period.

We've crunched the numbers and our financial model is crystal clear. With a base raise of $430K, we're solid. But to really knock it out of the park and fuel our ambitious growth, we're targeting $1.5M. This isn't just about keeping the lights on; it's about supercharging our platform, dominating the market, and delivering unmatched value to our contractors. We know exactly what we need, why we need it, and when to make it happen. Let's get to work and make this vision a reality.
