Longview Restoration: Funding Rounds, Investors & CEO

About Longview Restoration

Longview builds and operates local water, fire, mold and storm restoration companies. Its software handles intake, scheduling, estimates, billing and collections while local operators manage restoration work.

The Nashville company was founded by chief executive officer Joey Kim. By August 2026, it had five active markets, $15 million in trailing revenue and thousands of restored homes, according to Lowercarbon Capital.

Why Investors Backed Longview Restoration

Investors backed Longview because disaster restoration combines essential physical work with slow insurance paperwork. Longview owns the service businesses and gives local operators capital, training and software. Lowercarbon Capital says the model reached five markets while remaining profitable. The company also reported that its AI operating system can handle repetitive office work for restoration teams.

The problem it targets

Restoration contractors repair damage from water, fire, mold and storms. Lowercarbon says insurers often take months to pay, leaving contractors with estimates, documentation and collections work long after the physical job. Longview also says strong local operators may lack the capital and systems to start or expand a restoration company.

What the product does

Longview starts new local restoration companies and also buys 66% to 80% of selected existing businesses. Its platform handles intake, scheduling, estimates, code checks, billing and collections. Lowercarbon says its virtual inspection process cut one inspection task from 90 minutes to nine. Local teams still perform the drying, cleanup and rebuilding work.

Progress so far

By August 2026, Longview had active locations in Dallas, Baltimore, New Hampshire, Minneapolis and Nashville, according to Lowercarbon. The investor also reported fivefold revenue growth over 18 months, $15 million in trailing revenue, thousands of restored homes and profitability from the company's first day. Longview also coaches more than 60 restoration operators.

Who backs it

Hypepotamus reported a $5 million seed round in July 2025. Lowercarbon Capital says it backed Joey Kim and has continued following the company since that round. Longview has not publicly named a lead investor or all participants in the round.
