Built from 100+ conversations with property managers who were tired of being on-call.
Doorkeep exists so you can tell the difference between what's urgent and what can wait — without answering the phone.

Both sides of
the phone
I've been on both sides of the phone. As a renter, I know what it feels like to call about a real problem and get voicemail. As someone close to the management side, I know what it costs to answer every single call because any one of them could be the one that matters.
I started talking to property managers. A lot of them. The same story kept coming up: they're tied to their phone because they can't tell what's urgent until they pick up. They're not looking for another app. They want something to handle the call so they don't have to.
I first tried to solve this in 2021 with SMS. The voice technology wasn't ready. Now it is. Doorkeep is what those conversations asked for.

What we believe
Three principles that guide every decision we make.
Facilitator, not chatbot
Doorkeep isn't here to replace you. It's here to make sure the right calls reach you at the right time — and handle the rest so you don't have to.
Err on caution
We'd rather wake you for one false alarm than let a real emergency slip through. When in doubt, Doorkeep escalates. Always.
Full transparency
Every call is logged, transcribed, and documented. You see exactly what happened, what was said, and why Doorkeep made the decisions it did.
Why we're bootstrapped
We don't have a board telling us what to build. Every feature exists because a property manager asked for it.
You talk to the founder, not a support ticket. When you have feedback, it reaches the person who can act on it the same day.

Every call answered. No voicemail. No busy signal.
What we're building toward
Right now, Doorkeep handles phone calls. But the vision is bigger. Every communication channel your tenants use — calls, texts, emails, portal messages — triaged and handled with the same judgment a great property manager would apply.
We're not trying to replace property managers. We're building the tool that lets you manage more properties with less stress, fewer missed calls, and a lot more sleep.
