eeva’s Origin Story: Born from the Chaos of Homeownership

If you’ve been following the journey of eeva, you’ll know we’ve had some twists and turns along the way of building the app. But the overall vision? It’s remained consistent. 

We’re reflecting back to our roots and think it’s high time we shared the origins of eeva — AKA how our Founder & CEO, Adrienne Jung, took a personal frustration and turned it into a mission to change home management forever. Spoiler alert: it started with a home, a pandemic, and a whole lot of receipts.

The Dream Home, with a Side of Chaos

Buying your first home is one of those “big life moments.” For Adrienne, it happened during the pandemic (remember the frenzy of the housing market back then? Think Taylor Swift concert tickets but with mortgages). The excitement was real, but so was the overwhelm. 

Once the keys were in hand, a mountain of to-dos loomed near. Warranties, receipts, contractor info, appointment reminders, and schedules were scattered across sticky notes, drawers, and even the kitchen counter. And that didn’t even include the surprise tasks, like figuring out what a sump pump actually does. Adrienne very quickly realized that managing a home is actually REALLY hard!

“Don’t get me wrong, I love the freedom that comes with having my own home. But it’s just a lot. There’s a lot going on, constantly, everywhere,” she says. 

From Operational Genius to “Where Did I Put That?”

Adrienne spent many years fine-tuning operations for organizations across various industries, building tools that streamlined processes, tracked projects, and improved collaboration. At work, she could manage a team, balance budgets, and track time to the minute. But at home? The advice was… less sophisticated. Print your calendar and stick it on the fridge? Really?!

Frustrated, she started digging, and quickly found that she wasn’t alone. On a quest that started as simply looking for solutions, she found a gap instead: countless homeowners faced the same challenges as her, with no support. But there was also a pattern she couldn’t ignore: men often didn’t see the problem. Why? Because, as many admitted, “My wife takes care of that.” Cue the collective eye-roll from women everywhere (and hats off to the men who get it).

“I don’t want to make it a gendered argument. But the research and numbers don’t lie. Women understand this problem immediately, without fail. We have traditionally owned managing the household, and that expectation is still engrained today.” — Adrienne Jung, Co-Founder & CEO

A Mission Is Born

That insight lit a fire. Adrienne realized this wasn’t just about convenience in her personal life, it was about fairness, quality of life, and rethinking the way we manage our homes and busy lives. If we have apps to track every task, every dollar, and every minute of our workday, why not one to lighten the mental load at home?

“That was the aha moment: comparing how many tools were available to me at work versus what I was conditioned to using in my personal life. Truthfully, I care way more about managing my life than I do my work, but I didn’t feel set up for success to do that.” — Adrienne Jung, Co-Founder & CEO

And just like that, eeva was born. Adrienne’s goal was clear: create a platform that does for home management what her best tools did for workplaces: streamline processes, reduce stress, and foster collaboration. Except this time, the workplace was your home, and the reward was your peace of mind.

Built to Solve Real Problems

Adrienne didn’t just want to build a tool; she wanted to build the tool. So she talked to people — homeowners, renters, parents, and partners. She asked about their frustrations and dreams, their adulting wins and pitfalls. And she listened closely.

The result? eeva is now your centralized home management system that’s making life at home run a little smoother. Designed to handle everything from appliance maintenance to warranties and insurance, we’re not just helping you run your home; we’re helping you reclaim your time, your energy, and maybe even your sanity.

Why our Founders are the Ones to Do This

With over 15 years of leadership experience and a talent for solving complex problems, Adrienne knows how to design systems that actually work. She’s transformed operations across industries, but her real magic is in understanding people — what stresses them out, what they value, and how to make their lives better. This also led her to craft a killer team to help her do it all, if we do say so ourselves. That mix of strategy and empathy is what makes eeva more than an app; it’s a lifeline. 

With the support of Jarrod Nichol as her partner in crime, they’re revolutionizing adulting together.  

“Adrienne has been a friend for years and having worked with her previously, I jumped at the chance to work with her again.It’s not every day someone tells you an idea where you sit back and say wow, this has the potential to change the way people live their life. eeva has that potential and I had to be part of this journey. Being able to create a company, and a revolutionary tech product has been a dream of mine for years and being able to do this with someone as brilliant as Adrienne is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity.” — Jarrod Nichol, Co-Founder & CGO
