Who are we?
Remember the cartoon The Jetsons, as a kid? Or, how about the movie, Iron Man? Both shows have a key commonality: they showcased really bad-ass homes that were souped up with the kind of technology that would blow your mind if that technology actually existed in real life.
Well, what was fiction is rapidly becoming real life. Our Founder & CEO realized this a number of years ago when he launched our company, Garrett Integrated Systems. Consumer technology and smart-home systems are evolving at a rapid pace, which means homes being built or renovated today and in the coming years are going to look more and more like those homes in the movies. We get to integrate state of the art technology into the homes of tomorrow on a daily basis. How cool is that!
Our company is one of few that is HTA Certified therefore, we hire really smart tech geeks, who are passionate and eager to learn, and then trains them on the biggest brands and latest gadgets so that they can help homeowners go about their lives.
Which is where you come in. We’ve bootstrapped our company over the past few years, and we’re proud of the company and people we’ve built. We also recognize we can no longer continue to bootstrap our organization if we’re going to successfully scale.
Are you up for the challenge?
