Meet Joe
Hello! My name is Joe Fuchs and I am currently an ESTEEM student at the University of Notre Dame and the founder of Pruun (formerly Greenly). Back in my college days running a landscaping business, I noticed a common issue: the struggle for homeowners to find trustworthy services. Without a personal connection, it’s challenging to guarantee quality. Online options bring their own set of problems—prolonged quote processes, especially during peak seasons, and quotes varying significantly between contractors. So, Pruun is our solution—a free marketplace offering trustworthy portfolios, quick quotes, and competitive pricing based on local services. It is an all-in-one landscaping app designed for landscapers by landscapers. Join us in transforming landscaping into a seamless, transparent, and efficient experience for homeowners everywhere. Welcome to Pruun, where the path to your dream outdoor space is just a click away.
