In October, Jennifer Mallet, CEO, president, and founder of Level Up Your Home, was honored as a part of Women’s Small Business Month. Jennifer gained her experience as a smart home installation specialist at Bose, where she oversaw the company’s home installation division across the U.S. and Canada. Under Mallet’s direction, the sector at Bose thrived and she eventually decided to go off on her own. In this male-dominated industry, Level Up is thriving under her direction. As Mallet’s business grows, she is set on “future-proofing” the company by procuring capital through Fundera, which allows her to maintain day-to-day control of operations. Because of Mallet’s experience and enthusiasm for Level Up, the business is on a sky-rocketing trajectory in the rapidly growing smart home industry.
Key Takeaways:
- Jennifer decided to set out on her own after a career at Bose to start Level Up Your Home, a smart home installation company
- Level Up Your Home started with only five contractors and quickly grew to 40 nationwide
- Jennifer used her position to mentor women entrepreneurs and support them through networking and relationships
“She says the biggest lesson she has learned along the way is figuring out how to get comfortable— and eventually even excited—about risk.”
