About

Porch Group, Inc. is a vertical software and insurance platform dedicated to simplifying homeownership. Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, the company provides a comprehensive suite of software and services to various home services companies, including home inspectors, moving companies, real estate agencies, and warranty companies. Through its diverse brand portfolio, Porch Group aims to be the definitive partner for homebuyers, assisting them in moving, maintaining, and protecting their homes. The company's core strategy involves integrating software solutions at key transaction points in the home buying process, which provides unique data insights. This data-driven approach allows Porch to offer tailored and advantageously underwritten homeowners insurance, which sits at the center of its customer relationship model. Founded in 2012, Porch began as a marketplace connecting homeowners with home improvement professionals. Over the years, it has evolved significantly, expanding its offerings through strategic acquisitions and organic growth. The company went public in December 2020 via a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) and is listed on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol PRCH. Porch's platform serves both businesses and consumers. For businesses, it provides software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions like Inspection Support Network (ISN) for home inspectors and HireAHelper for moving companies, helping them streamline operations and grow their businesses. For homeowners, Porch offers a concierge service that simplifies the moving process by assisting with essential services such as insurance, moving, security system setup, and TV/internet installation. This holistic ecosystem is designed to create a seamless and less stressful homeownership journey, from the initial purchase to ongoing maintenance and improvement projects.
