SmartRent, Inc. — Cyborg Score 5/10

Mixed
Enterprise Real Estate Technology / Smart Building Software

Strategic Profile

The company is transitioning from a growth-at-all-costs model to one focused on sustainable, profitable growth driven by recurring SaaS revenue. SmartRent had approximately 850,000 units deployed as of Q2 2025, representing a 3% sequential and 10% year-over-year increase. The company achieved a 108% net customer revenue retention rate in Q2.

Cyborg Score Rationale

SmartRent is on track to achieve adjusted EBITDA and cash flow neutrality on a run-rate basis by the end of 2025. However, 2024 revenue declined 26% year-over-year to $174.89 million. Management is confident in reaccelerating growth in 2026 with investments in sales and product enhancements, but execution risk remains.
