About Us

We are here for you.

Shipshape provides homeowners an AI-powered software platform that puts the homeowner in control of the cost of operating and maintaining their home. Our proprietary technology is designed to help homeowners and their service providers connect more efficiently to save time, money and energy.

Our Mission

To make homes smart enough to take care of themselves

Our Vision

A world where every home is safe, reliable, and efficient

A Message from Our Founder & CEO Alexander Linn

“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.”

In 2011, I became concerned that AI could cause severe disruption to our society. So I wanted to find a way to use AI for good. I had experience working on smart buildings so I knew about the inefficiencies in managing buildings. However, it was after a mission trip to Kenya that I realized just how important the home is to psychological well-being. I believe that if we make homes reliable then more people will engage in solving problems for the world rather than worrying about the roof over their heads. Once I started talking to homeowners to hear their stories, there was no turning back. Shipshape was born.

It is estimated that it will take $2 trillion and 20 billion hours of work to modernize America’s aging single-family infrastructure to address the burgeoning climate crisis. Homeowners are not prepared to manage this themselves, and no single service provider can assist homeowners with this challenge.

However, with connected home services, we can do it. Shipshape networks together home maintenance contractors, insurance providers, utilities, and manufacturers to create win-win outcomes across the ecosystem, benefiting homeowners, providers, and the planet.

Our Story

We are a rapidly growing tech company based in Austin, TX, and Birmingham, AL, offering whole-home monitoring solutions as part of a comprehensive management and predictive maintenance platform.

Shipshape essentially serves as the "check engine light" and "car facts report" for the home, enabling homeowners to monitor their appliances and critical systems via their cell phones and know in real-time if they're functioning properly.

We partner with value-aligned, market-leading builders & developers to provide their customers with Shipshape monitoring and predictive maintenance solutions. These solutions are designed to enhance the homeowner experience through a robust technology platform.

Crawl Space

Great service, it's a big win from my experience. My crawl space is now literally connected to my phone. It's the peace of mind I need when away from home during the record rainfalls that we have been experiencing.

Dehumidifier

We were getting strange readings from a dehumidifier, and Shipshape found an error code that had gone unnoticed. Their monitoring probably saved me thousands in medical bills.

Monitoring Makes Sense

Mobile App
Peace of Mind
Maintenance

Monitoring my project makes so much sense, it's like having a smart phone after having a flip phone... no one is going to want flip phones anymore...why would anyone spend so much money on a maintenance project and not want to know if it's working?

Assurance That Everything is Running Smoothly

Mobile App
Peace of Mind
Dehumidifier

I like the product, the app, and the extra assurance that everything is running smoothly and operating as it should - especially since our dehumidifier and sump pump are in the basement, and we don't readily see what's happening down there on a daily basis.

Weather
Contractor

I’m you’re customer. My waterproofer called me and asked if I was interested in the monitoring. I accepted because I spent more than I would have liked to and was worried about recurring damage. After a couple rainstorms, you guys really saved me because my pump was overworking and you helped fix the problem.

This is genius, I got that sump pump because I had $40,000 of water damage. I care a lot about that pump, I want to know that it is working and am willing to do anything i can do to keep it in working condition and up until now I hadn’t heard from my contractor one time since its been installed.
