About Knox

Built by operators.
For owners.

Knox is a two-person team in Allen, Texas: one founder who lived the problem running service businesses, and one engineer making the answer provable instead of magical.

Founders

Evan Froeschl

Evan Froeschl

Founder & CEO

Ran high-volume service operations and B2B sales across DFW before building Knox. He is the person who stayed late reconciling the CRM with the inbox with the calendar, and decided the owner should direct the business while software operates it.

Richard Smith

Richard Smith

Co-founder & CTO

Leads Knox's engineering: the automation language, the compiler, and the authority and evidence systems underneath. His bar is that every action Knox takes can be shown to the owner, step by step, with receipts.

Why Knox exists

The work was never the problem. The glue was.

Every owner we know already has the answers. They know a lead should hear back in minutes, that a missed follow-up costs a job, that the schedule should reconcile itself.

What they got instead was a stack of tools that each demanded to be managed, and automation software that asked them to become workflow engineers to use it.

Knox is the bet that owners should just be able to ask. Describe the outcome, approve the plan, read the receipt. The operating layer handles everything in between, and proves it.

How we work

Four rules we don't bend.

01

Proof over promises

Every run is verified against the app itself and filed as a receipt. If it can't be shown, it doesn't ship.

02

The owner approves

Sensitive actions wait for sign-off on the exact action and destination. Approvals expire on their own.

03

No black box

Plans are written in plain language before anything is built. If something isn't possible, Knox says so first.

04

Your tools stay yours

Your CRM and your books remain the source of truth. Access is revocable from the provider, anytime.

Small team. Direct line.

When you join the pilot, you work with the two people above. No account managers, no ticket queue.
