Founder myself here. First of kudos to you all surviving the brunt of the pandemic, especially in the hospitality space, that alone speaks to your resolve. Questions: 1) Who does washbnb's laundry? This part of your service is a bit unclear, do you partner with local laundroma...

Hey Brian, thank you for digging in and the great insights/questions! It has certainly been a year in hospitality but we really lucked out by being tied to the short-term rental industry which didn't see nearly as much disruption as other travel & hospitality sectors. Here's our thinking: 1) We're partnering with large industrial laundry facilities that are optimized for hospitality linens. They get the best quality clean and press at the lowest possible price and smallest environmental i...

Hello, how would you scale this up to other cities? Edit: Thank you for your thorough reply to my question. You also answered my 2nd question about franchising. 😃

Hi John, great timing because we have hosts emailing us from all over the world asking if we can help them out! Scaling washbnb is all about creating hyperlocal operational centers that are able to replicate and deliver our value propositions on the ground. The good news is that the infrastructure already exists in big cities, so we're going to start there and continue to leverage excess capacity while using contracts with enterprise customers to finance expansion and extend runway. We plan o...

Hi Daniel, Is it possible to see the signage that goes in rentals for WashBnB’s service? Maybe it could be a post in the “Updates” section in Wefunder (?) I think it’s interesting to “add transparency” to the end customer (as you mentioned) I’m just curious what that looks lik...

Hey Amit! I've added a new slide to the very bottom of the campaign page that shows the marketing materials available to hosts. In the trade we've been placing logos and/or using the hosts name or company name to customize them to each customer! Let us know what you think and hope to count you as an investor in washbnb!

Hey Daniel, Looks like I can't reply to a thread in the platform, but the signage looks great, thanks for sharing! Appreciate it

Our pleasure Amit, we're excited to have you onboard, thank you for investing!

HI Daniel, great idea, so I have vacation rental in Hawaii, have 4 rooms and 6 beds total, how much would you charge me for your service monthly or for each reservation from Airbnb ? Thanks Michael K

Hi Stan, love it, I went to school at UH Manoa! I'm sure we'd have to adjust our prices up like most companies do operating in Hawaii but I'm happy to ballpark. Vacation rentals are a bit of a different beast than most of the apartment style units and hotel rooms we're currently working with but we're searching for a WI based partner now to test ways to best work with vacation rentals with lots of rooms/guests/beds. The pricing formula takes into account guests (bath & face towels), bathr...

Daniel Edwards

Daniel is a startup CEO, angel investor, advisor and board member spanning from London to Silicon Valley.

Strengths

says, "Founder has a strong sense of the short term rental ethos and expectation of quality. He clearly understands that this is a people business and demonstrates his passion to differentiate his service... through service."

says, "The team has personally dealt with the laundry problems associated with being an Airbnb host and created a solution to solve it. When looking for a good company you always prefer someone who has experienced the problem and solved it for themselves first. Daniel (CEO) has been an Airbnb superhost for over 5 years and Cat (CDO) has been an Airbnb host too. They have really identified a market in need of a solution where legacy laundry service providers don't service because of the smaller size of these Airbnb host."

Advice

says, "Selecting, on boarding, training and promoting people who love the service industry will be a key to success."

says, "Washbnb has started in a market that isn't seen as traditionally a startup area, but I think that could work to their advantage. By building out the base of the company in these markets they could really build a strong foundation before attacking bigger markets."
