How Kate Elliott is solving inventory management for home stagers.
What happens when a stager with a tech background gets tired of duct-taping together Trello, QuickBooks, and a CRM that wasn’t built for her? She builds something better.
In this episode, I sit down with Kate, co-founder of Hutch — a purpose-built project management and inventory platform designed specifically for home stagers. Kate shares her journey from SaaS startup life to staging side hustler to software founder, and walks us through exactly what Hutch does, why the staging industry has been underserved for so long, and how better data can finally help stagers price their services for what they’re actually worth.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE:
- How Kate went from staging side hustler to software co-founder
- Why so many stagers are stitching together tools that were never built for them, and what that’s costing them
- What Hutch does as an all-in-one staging business tailored platform
- Why your average inventory investment per stage might be the most important number you’re not tracking
