Lessen is a technology platform for the property services industry. Founded in 2019 by Jay McKee and headquartered in the United States, it operates a nationwide marketplace that connects property owners and managers with vetted vendors for maintenance and renovation work, and supplies the software used to run those projects. The company's stated aim is to modernise fragmented, inefficient maintenance processes and to address the vendor coordination and payment unpredictability that its founder identified in the market.
Its engineering work spans property technology, project management automation, marketplace platforms and work order management. Proprietary products include One by Lessen, for managing property services projects; Lessen360™, for property services management; Aiden; and the Lessen Marketplace, which links property owners and managers with vetted service vendors.
The platform operates at considerable scale. It serves more than 280,000 properties, completes over 3m work orders a year and draws on a network of more than 30,000 vetted vendors across the United States. The company's operating priorities combine technology development with network quality and measurable outcomes for property owners, managers and service providers.
