Making Homes Smart Enough to Take Care of Themselves.
Shipshape is the intelligent home management platform that connects homeowners, service professionals, and the technology they trust into one AI intelligence layer.
Our Story
The insight that started everything.
After a service visit, the relationship disappears. No follow-up, no record, no digital connection. The contractor forgets the customer. The customer forgets the contractor. And the homeowner is left managing their most important asset with almost no information.
Alexander Linn was a product specialist on Salesforce’s Einstein AI team, helping companies unlock their data with AI. He left with a simple question: why does AI power trillion-dollar enterprises but do nothing for the place people actually live? He founded Shipshape in 2020 to build the platform that connects homeowners and service professionals, and makes homes safe, reliable, and efficient. Not someday. Now.
Alexander Linn
Founder & CEO
“Why are our homes still causing financial, health, and energy disasters? If we can build rockets to go to Mars and self-driving cars, we can make our homes reliable and efficient.”
What We Believe
Homeowners deserve proactive care.
You deserve to know what’s in your home, what’s been serviced, and what needs attention before something breaks. That’s not a luxury. It’s the standard.
Service professionals deserve loyal customers.
Service professionals build trust one visit at a time. They deserve a platform that preserves it between visits, not one that watches it fade.
Technology should work for people, not against them.
Shipshape operates quietly and only surfaces when it genuinely matters. No learning curve. Just a home that knows itself.
Shipshape pioneered intelligent home management, a proactive approach that turns one-time service visits into lasting, data-driven relationships between homeowners and the pros they trust.
