Tool that recovers missed rebates from your past home improvements

The vast majority of property owners have unknowingly forfeited thousands of dollars from previous energy upgrades simply because the rebate application process is bewildering and critical deadlines are hidden deep in the fine print. RetroClaim analyzes your home's renovation history and handles the entire claims process for every overlooked rebate from the last 3-5 years. Simply upload your receipts, provide some details about your HVAC, insulation, or solar projects, and the platform matches your work against 50+ utility programs and government incentive offerings to uncover every cent you're entitled to. The business model takes 25% of whatever rebates are successfully recovered, meaning customers never pay unless money actually comes back to them. On average, a homeowner gets back $2,400, which translates to $600 in revenue per successful claim. Considering that 80 million homeowners have completed energy-related improvements over the past decade, this represents an enormous market that's been hiding in plain view. The ideal entry point is established homeowners who put in solar panels, replaced HVAC systems, or installed insulation before they were even aware rebates existed. Customer acquisition flows through Facebook homeowner communities, YouTube energy audit creators, and SEO targeting queries like "missed energy rebate." Launch with a straightforward audit tool that flags potential claims, then build out automated filing capabilities, utility company partnerships, and eventually branch into property tax appeals. Statute of limitations deadlines on these claims create built-in urgency that drives action. Once the model proves itself, opportunities open up to white-label the service for real estate agents, collaborate with contractors on ongoing rebate management, or license the rebate database to financial institutions. Each dollar successfully reclaimed strengthens credibility with the next homeowner who discovers they've been sitting on a stockpile of uncollected money.
