About Joshua Curtis

I co-founded edZOOcation® with a simple goal: create meaningful, scalable impact through education. What started as an idea grew into a successful company, culminating in a rewarding exit—an experience that shaped how I approach building, scaling, and creating long-term value.As a Visionary within the EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) framework, I thrive on setting direction, identifying opportunities, and driving big-picture strategy while empowering strong operators to execute.Today, I’m focused on my next chapter: acquiring and operating small home services businesses. Through a disciplined roll-up strategy, I partner with owners to preserve what makes their companies great while enhancing operations, accelerating growth, and building a portfolio that commands a higher aggregate multiple.I’m always open to connecting with founders, operators, and business owners in the home services space who are exploring succession, growth, or new opportunities.Always building. Always evolving.

   I lead the company\'s UX strategy, overseeing the entire design process from user research and user flow explorations to optimizing the site in collaboration with designers and developers. Additionally, I play a critical role in financial strategy, managing cash flow and aligning resources with growth objectives.
