IN HER WORDS: “As a mom of four kids working full time and traveling around the country, I found myself more reliant on my home services providers for help, but felt there was a gap when it came to my home technology, which I always felt was the most important. With Daisy, we have invested in the tools, resources, branding and scale to be able to offer not just that reliable home tech support that I was craving, we can be homeowners’ technology curators for life.”
