Casa, founded by former Uber executives, secured $27 million in funding including a $20 million Series A round. The company uses lidar scanners and artificial intelligence to catalog homes and coordinate preventive maintenance with human workers.

Casa's platform combines LiDAR technology with AI to create detailed home inventories and identify maintenance needs before problems escalate. The system coordinates automated diagnostics with a network of handymen to execute repairs and upkeep. The funding round underscores investor interest in AI-driven home services, a sector that has attracted significant capital as companies explore automation in traditionally labor-intensive industries. Casa's model positions human workers alongside automation rather than replacing them entirely. The company manages the workflow between AI-generated assessments and on-site service providers, creating a hybrid approach to residential maintenance. The Series A brings Casa's total funding to $27 million as it scales operations and expands its member base. The company operates as a membership service where customers pay for proactive home management rather than reactive repairs.
