The Company:
UpKeep was founded by our CEO, Ryan Chan, based on an idea he had while using outdated desktop software as a process engineer in a manufacturing plant. He believed cloud-based software could significantly improve the workflow and productivity of the technicians he was working with. He was determined to build on this vision— so he quit his job, learned how to code, and created the first version of UpKeep in 2014 while living in his parents garage.
Today, our SaaS solution is modernizing the way thousands of businesses around the world maintain their facilities and equipment. Customers love our mobile-first application because it gives them the ability to manage projects, teams, and work orders on-the-go. We also provide advanced reporting tools and IoT devices which enable them to make data-driven decisions that save their businesses time and money.
We're focused on being the most innovative and easy-to-use Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) and Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) software available. We have thousands of happy customers in industries like manufacturing, healthcare, hospitality, agriculture, education, fitness, energy, public works, and property/building management. World-renowned VC’s including Insight Partners, Emergence Capital, and Mucker have confidently backed us since graduating from Y Combinator in 2017.
Company culture, employee appreciation, career growth, and DEI are very important to us— which is why we've been named a "Best Place to Work" several years in a row.
