Waste collection is a trillion-dollar global industry.
It still runs on paper and legacy systems.

Here’s what AI for waste management actually looks like:

AI in every truck.
AI in every route.
AI in every invoice.

This is Hauler Hero.

Thank you @Waste360 for sharing the news about our Series A https://t.co/VZxkjHM4vC

Why we invested in a “boring” waste management software business:

Nobody in Silicon Valley wants to romanticize garbage collection, meaning low competition and massive upside for the right team.

This is a pen & paper industry that hasn’t changed in 50 years. And in one platform, Hauler Hero offer cloud-based route planning, automated billing, customer portals, and AI-powered route optimization.

They have 120+ customers across 40 states since launching in Q1 2024.

200% revenue growth in the past year.

That’s why we back the dumb, dull, dirty, and dangerous at @CTVentureCap.

Legacy industries like waste management are overlooked, unglamorous, can't be offshored or fully automated.

And thousands of fragmented operators are desperate for modern software that works.

Biggest opportunity in venture right now…investing in the dumb, dull, dirty, and dangerous.

That’s the framework we’ve been using at @CTVentureCap.

Dumb = overlooked everyday businesses with huge TAMs

Dull = work nobody wants to romanticize (low competition)

Dirty = exposure to undesired elements necessary to sustain livelihood

Dangerous = high-risk, labor-intensive environments

AI has made intelligence cheap and abundant.

The highest return on that intelligence is in the places where human memory, coordination, and physical work have always been the bottleneck.

One skilled person + the right vertical AI tool can now do the work of four or five.

@HaulerHero is a perfect example.

Waste hauling checks every box: dumb (every city needs it), dull (no one dreams about it), dirty (by definition), and dangerous (heavy trucks, landfills, hazardous material). They built one platform that handles AI routing, CRM, admin, everything - taking an industry that still runs on clipboards and bringing it into the 21st century.

They just raised $16M in their Series A and we’re proud to be investors.

This is the part of the economy that was too physical, too analog, and too unsexy for software to touch… until now.

That’s where I’m seeing the real opportunity…in the REAL economy.

[Chris Petkas @Chris_Petkas]

Congrats to @CTVentureCap portco, @HaulerHero on their Series A! They're building in a hugely fragmented market within the real American economy: waste management. Onwards!
