Where we are today. Focused Scopes is pre-revenue and pre-first-customer. The platform is built, deployed and running in production — the engineering counts above are current and verifiable. What has not happened yet is the market test, and that is precisely what this raise funds. Every margin, retention, CAC and unit-economics figure on this page is a target or an industry benchmark we are underwriting, never a reported result.
Bryce built Focused Scopes from firsthand experience in property management, watching teams burn hours on spreadsheets, phone tag, and fragmented tools to manage what should be straightforward: scoping a property, assigning work, and closing it out.
He's built the platform from the ground up — 130+ Cloud Functions, 50+ screens, 23,000+ lines of backend logic. AI-powered scope generation, 4 premium addon suites (Field Ops, Investor Tools, Tenant Operations, Business Suite), 5 integrations live with 5 more built and awaiting go-live, a two-sided vendor marketplace, and route optimization — an unusually deep field operations surface area for a company at this stage.
Bryce is available to discuss the platform roadmap, investment opportunities, and strategic partnerships. Schedule a call below.

Property field operations is still served mostly by general-purpose PM suites and single-trade tools. The market is massive and growing.
The U.S. property technology market is expected to grow from $24.73B in 2026 to $76.84B by 2034 — a CAGR of roughly 15%. Field operations software sits at the intersection of property management and construction technology. Source: Precedence Research, U.S. PropTech Market, accessed Aug 2026 — $21.53B (2025) to $86.25B (2035) at a 14.89% CAGR; the 2026 and 2034 figures above are points on that curve.
Grand View Research sizes the property management software market at $3.61B in 2025, reaching $5.89B by 2033 at a 6.4% CAGR. Third-party estimates for this segment vary widely by methodology — other firms publish 2033 figures from roughly $8B to $21B on broader definitions. Field operations workflow is a thinly served sub-segment inside it. Source: Grand View Research, Property Management Software Market, accessed Aug 2026.
There are roughly 44.6 million renter-occupied housing units in the U.S. Of those, NMHC tracks about 11.5 million professionally managed apartment units through the five leading PM software providers — and single-family and small-multifamily rentals add millions more under professional management. Every one of them needs scoping, maintenance coordination, vendor management, and turn workflows. This is a recurring need, not a one-time sale. Sources: U.S. Census Bureau ACS 5-year estimates (2019–2023); NMHC Rent Payment Tracker methodology, accessed Aug 2026.
Sources: AppFolio Q4/FY2025 results (Jan 2026) and Q2 2026 results (Jul 2026), which raised full-year 2026 non-GAAP operating margin guidance to 26.5–28.0%; gross margin is the blended reported figure, held down by payments and other Value+ cost of revenue. RealPage: Thoma Bravo take-private valuing RealPage at ~$10.2B including net debt — announced Dec 2020, closed Apr 2021. Buildium: acquired by RealPage for $580M, 2019. Public-company figures move every quarter; verify against current filings before relying on them.
Three forces are converging: AI maturity makes voice-to-scope and video analysis practical for the first time. Labor shortages in property maintenance are forcing managers to digitize workflows. And consolidation in PM portfolios means larger operators need scalable tools — not spreadsheets.
AppFolio and Buildium proved the PM software model on the property-accounting side of the business. What none of them publicly markets is the scope-to-paid margin workflow for turn and rehab contractors — pricing vendor pay and client bill separately on one scope, from walkthrough to paid invoice. That's the gap we're targeting.
130+ Cloud Functions. 50+ screens. 23,000+ lines of backend logic. This isn't a prototype — it's a production-grade platform, built and deployed, running on production infrastructure today.
Voice, area-by-area, and continuous video walkthrough scoping. Built on Anthropic's Claude. Turns hours of manual scoping into minutes. Smart suggestions, per-item & per-sqft pricing detection, photo capture.
Build scopes, assign to crew/vendors, track real-time progress. Change orders, punch items, recurring work orders, threaded comments with @mentions, auto reminders, and scope takeover requests. Full lifecycle from walkthrough to invoice.
Vendors list services, build portfolios, receive work. Managers discover talent, track per-vendor POs, and rate performance. The free vendor tier is designed to drive network effects and retention as the marketplace fills.
Field Ops (Cicero AI, route planner, gas tracking), Investor Tools (deal analyzer, portfolio dashboard, investor portal), Tenant Operations (tenant portal, maintenance pipeline, violations, collections), Business Suite (QuickBooks, Slack, Zapier, Google Calendar, Gmail, Sheets, Drive, Xero). Each with tiered pricing and a 5-day free trial.
Magic-link portals require no login. Tenants submit maintenance requests, track status, and rate work. Investors view branded dashboards with flip metrics, ROI, and property photos. Shareable property pages for stakeholders.
Live: QuickBooks Online (OAuth, invoices, vendor bills, GL mapping), Slack, Zapier, weather forecasting (OpenWeatherMap), and address lookup & geocoding (Google Maps Places). Built and awaiting go-live: Google Calendar, Gmail, Google Sheets, Google Drive, and Xero — code deployed, remaining work is OAuth app publishing, not engineering. Admin-configurable per company.
Every feature was designed for the people who actually walk properties, coordinate crews, and close out work orders.
Multiple monetization layers with expansion revenue built into the architecture. The model is designed so every account can grow its spend over time.
4-tier structure: Starter ($100), Team ($299), Growth ($450), Enterprise ($1,499). Annual plans at 15% discount. Seat-based scaling from 1 to 200 users per company.
Field Ops ($79–$249/mo): Cicero AI, Route Planner, Gas Tracking, Weather, Address Lookup. Investor Tools ($49.99–$299.99/mo): Deal Analyzer, Portfolio Dashboard, Investor Portal. Tenant Ops ($99–$599/mo): Tenant Portal, Maintenance Pipeline, Violations, Collections, Marketing. Business Suite ($49–$249/mo): QuickBooks, Slack, Zapier, Google suite, Xero. All include 5-day free trial on signup.
Vendor seats are free and unlimited on every tier — a vendor working for a manager never pays. The $125/year flat subscription buys a listing in the public marketplace, where managers discover new vendors. Network effect moat — more vendors attract more managers, and vice versa.
5 integrations live (QuickBooks Online, Slack, Zapier, OpenWeatherMap, Google Maps address lookup), with 5 more built and awaiting go-live (Google Calendar, Gmail, Sheets, Drive, and Xero). Each bundled into its respective addon tier for compounding expansion revenue.
Incumbents are either too broad (generic PM), too narrow (single-trade), or too expensive for the crews doing the work. On the public documentation reviewed for the table below, none of them markets the scope-to-paid margin workflow for turn and rehab contractors — that's the gap we're built for.

Comparison as of August 2026, based on features and pricing each vendor documents publicly. It is not a statement about any competitor's internal roadmap. AppFolio, Buildium, ServiceTitan and Procore all ship frequently and all publicly market AI capabilities — the distinction drawn here is the specific workflow (walkthrough to line-item scope, with vendor pay and client bill priced separately), not the presence or absence of AI. Published starting prices change without notice and several vendors quote per-unit or per-technician; verify current pricing with each vendor. Trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
Focused Scopes wasn't built in an accelerator. It was built by someone who lived the problem.
Property field operations — scoping units, assigning vendors, tracking progress, managing change orders — was being run on spreadsheets, text messages, and scattered tools. Bryce saw crews wasting hours on coordination that software should handle. The tools that existed were either too broad (full PM suites that treated field work as an afterthought) or too narrow (single-trade scheduling apps).
Bryce built the entire platform: 130+ Cloud Functions, 50+ screens across iOS, Android, and Web. AI-powered scope generation using Anthropic's Claude. A two-sided vendor marketplace. 4 premium addon suites. 5 integrations live with 5 more built and awaiting go-live. Route optimization. Real-time collaboration. Not a prototype or a landing page — a complete, deployed production system, built and paid for before raising a dollar.
The free vendor tier isn't a promotion — it's the strategy. Vendors join for free, build profiles, and get work from managers who pay. As the marketplace fills, more vendors should make the platform more valuable for managers, and vice versa. Combined with deep vertical integration (scope generation through invoicing), switching costs are designed to compound over time. This is the thesis the raise is meant to test.
The product is built. The revenue model is defined and priced — four streams, tiered, with expansion built into the architecture; what it has not yet done is meet the market. That is exactly what this raise is for: first customers, then sales, marketing, strategic partnerships, and expanding the integration ecosystem. Every property management company running field operations on spreadsheets is a company we intend to convert.
The conditions for a breakout platform in property field ops haven't existed before. They do now.
Cicero AI isn't a ChatGPT wrapper. It's deeply integrated: voice-to-scope, video walkthroughs, photo analysis — built on Anthropic's Claude. These are real, functional capabilities, already built, and rebuilding them inside a general-purpose PM suite means rebuilding the scope data model underneath them.
The PM SaaS model works at scale — AppFolio reached $951M revenue in FY2025 on roughly 64% blended gross margin, and guides to 26.5–28% non-GAAP operating margin for 2026. Focused Scopes applies the same subscription-plus-expansion playbook to an underserved vertical. Our own margin and retention figures are targets, not results.
The free vendor tier is built to drive a two-sided flywheel: each new vendor makes the platform more valuable for managers, and each new manager brings vendors. The architecture is in place; the flywheel starts turning with the first cohort.
$24.7B U.S. PropTech market growing at roughly 15% a year. Even the category leader, AppFolio, manages 9.4M units against roughly 44.6M U.S. rental units — a minority of the market, with the field-operations workflow largely unclaimed. No incumbent we have evaluated markets scope-to-paid margin for turn and rehab contractors.
130+ Cloud Functions, multi-platform presence, 5 integrations live with 5 more built and awaiting go-live — built lean, and built before the raise. The expensive part (product) is done. Capital goes to growth: sales, marketing, customer acquisition. High-leverage deployment.
SaaS → Field Ops → Investor Tools → Tenant Ops → Business Suite → Marketplace fees. The customer journey spans 4 addon suites, with expansion revenue designed into the pricing architecture. Our target is net revenue retention of 110%+.
