In this episode, host Brian Busch, Head of Marketing at Gusto, welcomes Alexander Jekowsky, Chief Executive Officer at Cents, an all-in-one laundry business management platform.

 

When you build something very specific for an outdated or underserved industry in terms of institutional software, you can make a massive impact.

 

The market can be huge, even if a typical investor might not see it right out of the gate.

 

Bessemer Venture Partners reports that about two percent of the laundromat industry has adopted a "modern solution," which leaves a lot of opportunity for Cents.

 

Today, Alexander covers:

• The impact of Cents in the laundromat industry
• The learning curve involved in serving new markets
• Vertical SaaS solutions versus general fintech
• How a centralized SaaS solution streamlines your operations
• What gives Cents a competitive edge over other similar solutions
