What Homebase does
Homebase is a Kansas City-based smart building technology company founded in 2016 that built a unified smart community platform combining mobile access control, property-wide WiFi, and smart building technology for multifamily and commercial properties. The platform is positioned to address fragmentation across property technology stacks by integrating access management, connectivity, and building automation within a single offering, reducing operational complexity for property managers and improving the resident experience.
The company was acquired by Quext in 2023, and in April 2026 Quext merged with Geokey to form OneQuext, bringing Homebase's technology together with Geokey's mobile access control expertise and Quext's smart building portfolio under a single platform. Homebase now operates as an acquired brand within OneQuext, serving as the access control and integrated smart community layer of the combined solution. Its primary customer segment is multifamily property operators, with commercial properties as a secondary vertical.
Homebase's business model is not publicly disclosed in available sources, including pricing models, contract structures, or revenue mechanics. The company has disclosed only one early funding round (a $500,000 investment in July 2017 from JE Dunn Construction and Sunflower Development Group, both real estate-aligned investors). Leadership includes founder Blake Miller. Given limited disclosed financial and operational data, the revenue base and go-to-market scale cannot be reliably estimated from public information.
