A Note from our Co-Founder and CEO

Hagan KapplerI have been very lucky to have worked with amazing companies and brands throughout my career, including Goldman Sachs, McKinsey & Company, Starbucks, Trane, Club Car, Terminix, ServiceMaster and Merry Maids.

As a mom, navigating my career has been challenging at times. And when I say "at times," I mean, every second of every day. With four kids (and a dog) and a busy schedule that has me traveling across the country, I always take all of the help that I can get at home. I have a cleaning lady, a landscaper, and a pest control tech.

Given how often I work from home and how connected all of my family's home devices are, including speakers, televisions, computers, thermostats, security cameras, I have found it increasingly frustrating, though, to find a reliable "tech guy" who can provide the frequent service I have come to expect from my other home services.

We built the company based on thousands of customer experiences like mine across the country, combined with the realization that no national brand existed in this space, to create Daisy, the first national brand in home and small business technology installation and services. We have partnered with the best custom integration companies and top entrepreneurs to provide the best quality technology installation and ongoing service solutions for our clients.

We pride ourselves in the investments we make in our front line employees, offering benefits, training, career paths, and Daisy equity to all company owned employees. We also offer free ongoing services for our clients who, like me, feel they need more guidance and stewardship with the technology around their home. We want to be there for our customers to guide them through their technology needs for the rest of their lives.
