Surv, TruPlay, and more | Faith Factor

Good Morning!

Welcome to this week's edition of Faith Factor’s newsletter, your weekly overview of Christian-related startup/VC news and content.

Startup of the Week: Surv

Founded by Pat Brown in 2021, Surv is a job platform designed to help those who can no longer physically manage their homes get the maintenance and chores done that they need. The company offers a subscription that allows homeowners to offload their to-do list, get extra assistance when desired, and regularly take care of seasonal tasks. Beyond their business model, Surv also seeks to help aimless young adults find purpose through serving their communities. By providing meaningful work along with the opportunity to connect with new people, Surv enables both homeowners and workers to avoid loneliness and isolation. The company states that by 2030, 65 million Americans won’t be able to manage their own homes. Through their platform, Surv can both achieve strong business success while also making a positive impact on society. So far, the company has raised nearly $4 million in founding, and has over 40 employees. Read more about Surv here.
