Description

Launderette founder Ireland McCaughey is on the Female Founder World show with Jasmine Garnsworthy. She saw a $40B opportunity for the modern laundromat last year, and since then has created the viral laundromat that’s become an NYC staple. Ireland put together the financials she needed for the business, got pitching to investors and lenders, and has been off to the races ever since. 

In this episode Ireland shares the capital needed to start her business and how she got it, how she’s personally managing her finances as an early stage founder, and how she’s thinking through next steps for Launderette.
