About Kru

KRU was started with one main goal: make property maintenance simple, stress-free, and transparent for everyone—from homeowners to multi-property managers.

Our Mission

Every great solution starts with a problem. KRU was founded with a clear mission: to eliminate the headaches of property maintenance for Canadians from coast to coast.

We saw that there was a big gap for property owners requiring maintenance: a need for a seamless, trustworthy platform that simplifies the process of finding reliable contractors and managing property repairs.

We believe that no matter the size of your portfolio, property maintenance should be stress-free.

Proudly Canadian

We started in Edmonton because we know the local property challenges—harsh winters, seasonal maintenance, and the need for reliable contractors.

But our vision goes beyond Alberta. We’re building a platform that works for every Canadian property owner, from Vancouver condos to Toronto townhomes. We’re built to scale and have concrete plans to expand our trusted service across the country.

Who We Are

KRU was founded by a group of property owners and tech innovators who were tired of the same headaches you face. We’re not just building software—we’re solving real problems with a human-first approach.

Our team combines property management experience, tech expertise, and a passion for making life easier for owners, managers, and contractors.
