How Starchup helps dry cleaners by getting out of their way
Summary
“We wanted to attack it like a two-sided marketplace, so something like a GrubHub or an Uber, where we are just the technology in the middle that allows businesses that are already up and running to connect with new consumers,” Dan Tobon, CEO and founder, said. Tobon, who spent time in the military, said they’ve been in touch with more than a dozen businesses around the country that are interested in their technologies, including “the biggest dry cleaner in Chicago.” He said Starchup will charge businesses a transaction fee on orders processed through the app and will charge white label clients a monthly fee. Tobon, who works alongside fellow co-founder Nick Chapleau, said the startup is testing pricing and plans to be the lowest-cost provider of such technology. Additionally, he said the startup received undisclosed angel investments from Tribal Ventures, of which Alan Matthew is the CEO and managing director. Once launched, Tobon said Starchup could be operating in Chicago, Houston, Dallas, San Diego, Los Angeles, and Minnesota.
