Marketplace platform for outdoor home services across 3,000+ US cities
LawnStarter operates a two-sided marketplace connecting consumers with service professionals for lawn care and landscaping. The stack is PHP/Laravel on AWS (Lambda, ECS, EKS) with React/React Native frontends — a conventional, stable foundation for marketplace operations. Active hiring across engineering, marketing, and sales with a senior-weighted team signals growth focus, while project velocity centers on supply acquisition, gamification, and performance engineering — tactical areas that directly map to the pain point of turning away revenue due to insufficient service-professional supply.
