Alasant is a white-label community app platform for master plan residential developments, founded in 2017 after a major Southern California developer approached April LeMond and her co-founder Mike to build a mobile app. Starting with Rancho Mission Viejo, the app achieved 90% adoption within 90 days, and they pivoted from a one-off project to a scalable product. Today, with $2M ARR, 82 communities, 200K+ active users, 100% renewal rates, and a bootstrapped business model, Alasant has built a sustainable, highly-focused vertical SaaS business by deeply embedding in the master plan community industry.
