Mura, with $4.5M in funding, offers an AI-powered platform to help HVAC and other commercial service providers streamline their order-to-cash process.
The platform integrates seamlessly with existing systems, reducing payment times, overhead costs, and manual data entry.
Mura's CEO and Cofounder, Ryan G. Smith, previously co-founded LeafLink and aims to revolutionize inefficiencies in commercial service companies.
The company's name, Mura, is derived from a Japanese term meaning removing irregularities in workflows.
Mura stands out with its 'dark software' approach, integrating with clients' systems to enhance efficiency without requiring complete system replacements.
Targeting a $300B+ market in the commercial field service sector, Mura focuses on industries like HVAC, electrical, and plumbing.
The business model involves charging a transaction fee based on the value delivered to clients, rather than flat SaaS fees.
Mura's value proposition becomes more evident during economic slowdowns as companies seek to reduce costs and optimize operations.
Key factors that led to successful fundraising include a strong team, clear opportunity, and early client acquisitions.
Upcoming milestones for Mura include working closely with PE-owned operators to enhance the product for a broader rollout.
