As he describes himself in his LinkedIn bio, our guest on the show, Alexander Jekowsky, is obsessed with "unsexy" industries. As the CEO of Cents, an in-store operations platform for laundromat owners, Alex and his team currently serve 1 in 14 laundromats across the country. The TAM, as he describes it, spans the entire $60B garment care industry. Cents recently closed a $40M Series B to equip laundromats with the tech they need. In this chat with Primary GP Jason Shuman, Alex deep dives into: - his journey as a founder - customer obsession - scaling in SMB tech - finding the right co-founder If this interests you, click the link in the comments to watch the full discussion.

Check out the latest insightful interview from Jason Shuman at Primary Venture Partners, featuring our very own Alexander Jekowsky, CEO and co-founder of Cents! Dive into the world of Vertical SaaS for laundromats and discover how Cents is transforming the industry. Don't miss the full interview here ➡ https://lnkd.in/eyd-5R3M
I passed on Cents because of TAM concerns. The largest investor in Toast did not. Two things I believe in. 1. I think it's important to treat every Founder well throughout each process. They're giving everything they have to their startup and you never know what the relationship can bring down the line 2. VCs need to revisit our assumptions to and when they were wrong to increase velocity for learnings and feedback loops Grateful for the opportunity to sit down with Alexander Jekowsky, dive deep into the business and unpack some learnings around SMB vertical SaaS. If you want to nerd out on vertical SaaS, this one is for you.
