ServiceTitan provided the following description of their company for its IPO: “ServiceTitan is the operating system that powers the trades. (Incorporated in Delaware) ServiceTitan provides an end-to-end, cloud-based software platform that connects and manages a wide array of business workflows such as advertising, job scheduling and management, dispatching, generating estimates and invoices, payment processing and more. We designed our platform to be the operating system for the trades. We serve many trades, including plumbing, electrical, HVAC, garage door, pest control, landscaping and others. In fiscal 2023, fiscal 2024 and the 12 months ended July 31, 2023 and 2024, we processed $44.9 billion, $55.7 billion, $50.6 billion and $62.0 billion of Gross Transaction Volume, or GTV, respectively. GTV represents the sum of total dollars invoiced by our customers to end customers through our platform in a given period, which is intended to be a proxy for the total revenue our customers generate from their end customers. We are modernizing a massive and technologically underserved industry—an industry commonly referred to as the “trades.” The trades consist of the collection of field service activities required to install, maintain, and service the infrastructure and systems of residences and commercial buildings. Tradespeople—like your local plumber, roofer, landscaper, HVAC technician and others who are employed in the trades—are immensely skilled and extensively trained. They are the essential, unsung heroes who work tirelessly to ensure that our needs are met where we live or work, ready at a moment’s notice to leave their families in the middle of the night to go across town to help others. The trades constitute a large, expanding cornerstone of our economy. There are hundreds of thousands of trades businesses providing essential services in every corner of the country. Based on internal analysis of industry data, we estimate the customers of trades businesses, which we refer to as “end customers,” spend approximately $1.5 trillion annually on trades services for homes and businesses in the United States and Canada alone.1 Despite the size and criticality of the trades and the specialized skills of tradespeople, technology solutions have generally not evolved to address their needs. Thus, many trades are forced to rely on a variety of inadequate tools to manage their workflows. As a result, before software like ours was created, we believe tradespeople were unable to fully harness the transformative benefits of modern technology to improve both their businesses and quality of life. ServiceTitan was born in the trades and built for the trades. Our founders, Ara Mahdessian and Vahe Kuzoyan, are the sons of trades business owners. They grew up watching their parents work late into the night after full days in the field—balancing the books, preparing invoices and scheduling the next day’s work—manually performing repetitive tasks that consumed their time and diverted their energy away from what they loved: serving customers and spending time with their families. Ara and Vahe founded ServiceTitan to provide tradespeople, like their parents, with technology that is purpose-built to help trades businesses thrive. We built our cloud-based software platform to offer end-to-end capabilities to manage complex workflows, connect key stakeholders and provide impactful industry best practices. ServiceTitan remains to this day maniacally focused on the success of our customers as we fundamentally believe that our customers’ success leads to our success. ServiceTitan provides an end-to-end, cloud-based software platform that connects and manages a wide array of business workflows such as advertising, job scheduling and management, dispatching, generating estimates and invoices, payment processing and more. We designed our platform to be the operating system for the trades, to assimilate features, capabilities and best-practices across trades for all of our customers and to provide them with a playbook to scale and operate more efficiently. Tradespeople spend their days interfacing with the ServiceTitan platform across what we believe to be the five most business-critical functions, or the “core centers of gravity,” inside a trades business: CRM (customer relationship management, including sales enablement, marketing automation and customer service), FSM (field service management, including scheduling and dispatching), ERP (enterprise resource planning, including inventory), HCM (human capital management, including compensation and payroll integration) and FinTech (including payments and third-party consumer financing). By offering interoperable capabilities in all five centers of gravity, we continuously capture comprehensive data insights across key workflows in a trades business. We believe these data insights position us to deliver differentiated value to our customers and to develop durable customer relationships, as demonstrated by our gross dollar retention rate of over 95% for each of the last ten fiscal quarters.2 Note: Net loss and revenue are for the 12 months that ended July 31, 2024. (Note: ServiceTitan filed an S-1/A on Dec. 3, 2024, and disclosed the terms for its IPO: 8.8 million shares at a price range  of $52.00 to $57.00 to raise $479.6 million. Background: ServiceTitan filed its S-1 for its IPO, without disclosing the terms, on Nov. 18, 2024.) “.
