The story
Volca started in 2024 as an AI referral-program tool for trade businesses (per PitchBook) but pivoted in 2025 to become the 'financial operating system for home services' — an AI payroll agent for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors running ServiceTitan. The company sits on top of ServiceTitan and exports clean payroll files to ADP, Paycom, Gusto, Paylocity, and QuickBooks; it does not itself move money. Recent expansion into AP/job-costing signals a broader back-office ambition.
