Lula 
Kansas City has always been our home base and our proving ground. So it means something that Ingram’s Magazine has again named Lula the eighth fastest-growing company in Kansas City for 2026.Â
A single strong year can put a company on a list like this. A second year shows signs of a sustainable model. A third appearance says the growth is structural, that the thing driving it is still driving it. For Lula, that thing is simple to name: more property managers handing Lula their maintenance, more residents getting a fast fix, and more skilled pros doing the work in more cities than the year before.
What Growth Looks Like in Maintenance
Growth in this business shows up as work that gets done. Over the past year that has meant more than 125,000 work orders handled in 2025, across a network that now spans 50+ markets and more than 9,000 vetted maintenance professionals. Behind those numbers are 350,000+ properties served and the property managers, owners, and residents who count on the work getting closed out right the first time.
Every one of those work orders, whether it was a leaking water heater or a failed AC unit, there’s a tenant who needed something fixed and got it fixed. Scaling that experience, keeping it fast and reliable as the volume climbs, is the hard part. Lula’s commitment to building its vetted network of maintenance professionals coupled with industry-leading technology, enables property managers to scale maintenance operations without scaling headcount.
A Kansas City Story, Built to Travel
Plenty of companies grow by chasing the coasts. Lula has grown by building a repeatable maintenance operation from Kansas City and taking it to renters and managers across the country, one market at a time. Lula saw 348% growth over the last three years, with an average annual growth rate of 116%. The Ingram’s recognition is a hometown one and thats part of what makes it special.
This latest nod sits alongside a longer run of growth recognition: a three-year presence on the Inc. 5000 (2026 list yet to be released), Proptech Breakthrough’s Work Order Management Solution of the Year, and a $28 million Series A led by PeakSpan Capital with continued support from RET Ventures. Each one points at the same underlying story, a company scaling property maintenance faster than the field around it.
A Word From Our CEO
“This one is close to home, literally. We built Lula in Kansas City, and being recognized here again by Ingram’s is a point of real pride for the whole team,” said Bo Lais, Co-founder and CEO of Lula. “Repeat recognition tells us the model holds up as we scale. That is a credit to our Lula Pros in the field, our employees, our clients, and everyone who believes in the mission; make maintenance easy. We are proud of the run and we are nowhere near done.”
