"We want to be optionality, not revolutionary."
In this episode of Tech At The Table, Louisa Dickins and Zander Geronimos are joined by Alex Jekowsky, Co-Founder & CEO of Cents, to talk entrepreneurship, AI, small business ownership and the technology transforming the laundry industry.
Alex shares how an idea to buy a couple of laundromats ultimately led to building Cents, an all-in-one business management platform for the garment care and repair industry. Today, Cents powers shared laundry rooms across around 7,000 apartment buildings and college campuses, as well as one in six US laundromats.
The conversation explores why laundry and small business ownership are having a moment, the realities of building and scaling a company, and how Cents is thinking about sustainable growth in a rapidly changing technology landscape.
Alex also shares his perspective on AI and the importance of solving real customer problems rather than adding AI for the sake of it, as well as what it takes to build a defensible business as technology continues to evolve.
Plus, we hear why Alex still prefers to write his own emails, what's on the table in New York, and who he thinks should join us next. 🧺🤖
