Founded in Austin in May 2026 by Lucas Weeden. Sausera is an automation funnel for service contractors — built to close the gaps that leak deals, recover the dollars carriers leave on the table, and give operators the tools their AI-equipped competition is already using.
Six years selling roofs across Texas. Long enough to learn that deals tend to go to whichever operator catches the lead first — and that the operators with AI tend to catch more of them. This is the system Lucas wished he had when he was in the field.
The last two years he's spent building, deploying, and stress-testing AI tools across business operations. Sausera is the synthesis — built by an operator who knows the jobsite and the codebase.
Lucas leads onboarding for new Sausera customers personally. Day 1, Day 30, Day 90 — direct founder access through the engagement. Not a marketing line. How the company is run.
They typically have more reach. They tend to reply in around a minute.
They can text every hit ZIP before you finish coffee.
Their systems don't sleep.
That isn't the future. It's the market today.
Sausera is the tool. Built by an operator, for operators who'd rather run the system than be replaced by it.
Sausera exists to set a new bar for service businesses. Better tools. Better systems. A better customer experience.
When operators raise their game, customers stay longer. They refer more. They leave better reviews. Revenue compounds.
The companies doing the bare minimum get pushed out. The ones doing the work get rewarded. That's the market we're building.
Every script, every workflow, every pricing call is informed by real time spent on real jobsites. If it doesn't survive the field, it doesn't ship.
You don't configure Sausera. You don't maintain it. We build it, run it, and own the result. You sign the work it brings in.
No fluff. No marketing speak. We tell customers what works and what doesn't. Including when the answer is "you don't need that yet."
Every customer should be more profitable in month 12 than month 1. Pricing, support, feature velocity — all built to compound, not churn.
Lucas leads onboarding personally for new customers. Day-1 welcome, Day-30 check-in, Day-90 review. Empire customers receive quarterly business reviews led directly by the founder.
One thing at a time. Right now, the focus is roofing. Roofing is the niche we are pressure-testing the entire system on. Other trades are next — but we are not naming an order. When the time comes to expand, we expand into whatever industry is the right fit at the right moment. No premature commitments, no public roadmap of which trade is second. Roofing first. Everything else after.
