Driive, an AI-native booking and scheduling platform for home service trades, has closed an undisclosed pre-seed funding round backed by Nebraska Angels, Nelnet, Move Venture Capital, and CompanyCam founder and CEO Luke Hansen.
Based in Lincoln, Driive builds software for contractors in sectors such as HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, pest control, and windows. Its product, Dot, is designed to handle inbound calls, texts, and emails around the clock, qualify homeowners, check technician availability using real drive time, and book appointments in real time.
The new funding will be used to grow Driive's engineering team, support go-to-market efforts through its partnership with CompanyCam, and expand the rollout of Dot.
The raise reflects continued investor interest in AI tools targeting operational bottlenecks in the home services sector, where speed of response can play a decisive role in winning business.
