Our teams use best-in-class technology to deliver high-quality, tech-enabled installation services—empowering the workforce of the future.

Smalt has been founded by Marius and Khurram, two grads from Harvard and Stanfard that have built companies before valued billions. We are backed by leading investors including General Catalyst, noa, Owl ventures and Heartfelt.
