Robin was the world's first robotic lawn maintenance franchise. We combined proven robotic mowing technology with highly professional installers and lawn maintenance crews to deliver a more reliable, affordable, and eco-friendly lawn care solution. Founded as an on-demand service, we added 10,000 customers our first two years and reached over $5MM ARR. That business was sold to Porch.com in 2017 and we shifted our focus to robotic mowing services and added 16 franchises in 12 states our first year.
