The story
TurfHop is a bootstrapped-looking vertical SaaS for lawn care and landscaping contractors, operated by ThreadKore out of Alabama. It sits inside a family of vertical products (Pesthop, Gutterhop, Chemhop). The 2026 push is Orbit AI — layering LLM-powered forecasting, quoting, and scheduling on top of the core job-management workflow. Embedded finance remains limited to card acceptance via bring-your-own PSP credentials (Stripe/Braintree/Paya).
