HoabyOwners · Confidential investor deck

Self-managed HOA operating system — dues, maintenance, voting, docs — at $5/user/month.

$1.0M seed

The ask: $1.0M seed to win self-managed HOAs on price and clarity against Buildium-class incumbents.

01 · Problem

The pain is already a budget line

Volunteer boards inherit paper chaos and opaque management fees. Legacy HOA software is priced for management companies, not owners running the community themselves.

Who pays to fix this

Volunteer boards and homeowners who want transparency without a management-company tax.

05 · What's in it for you

How investors make money

Classic SaaS land-and-expand: cheap seat price, sticky board workflows, expanding unit counts. Capital funds PLG and displacement wins — equity value tracks ARR as communities pile on.

Seat expansion

More homes in a community = more monthly SaaS without a new sale.

Displacement

Clear TCO story vs Buildium/AppFolio wins angry treasurers.

Retention

Boards hate migrating dues/docs twice — switching costs favor us once live.
