We’re a modern maintenance company that partners with operators and their staff to help residents better articulate their maintenance needs for faster resolutions. Our Intelligent IntakeTM platform makes one-trip resolution possible… or even no trip at all.
our story
While Mezo was founded in 2020 our story starts in 2014. Co-founder and CEO Mike Travalini was challenged to improve maintenance at early SFR market leader Waypoint Homes (now known as Invitation Homes.) Maintenance ops on almost 20,000 homes nationally was complex, inefficient, and expensive. Technicians never had the visibility they needed before arriving onsite, resulting in multiple trips and wasted hours every day. There had to be a better way.
Fast forward several years and not much had changed. Early into 2020, Trav connected with John Botica, who had been helping clients on transformative technologies as a consultant at Bain & Company and was exploring the maintenance space after a painful personal home repair experience. After comparing notes, the two decided to team up and build a novel solution. And so Mezo was born.
John and Mike launched Mezo in late 2020 to find a better way to empower residents and technicians to understand and quickly fix their home maintenance issues. Erin joined them shortly after from a healthcare startup, whose telehealth innovations had surprising parallels to home maintenance. Today we’re a team of 20, and we’re growing fast.
