LEWES, Delaware — Turns, a vertical SaaS (software as a service) startup for the laundry industry, reports it has raised $500,000 in pre-seed funding led by Better Capital, along with participation from PointOne Capital and others. Turns says it helps laundromats deliver a modern experience to their users with a full stack software and hardware integrated solutions that includes a modern point-of-sale system (POS), customer management, payments, accounting, employee management and more. It will primarily focus on the U.S. market and is targeting 1,000 customers in the next 12-18 months, it adds. Founders Sukanth Srivastav and Vishal Gupta built a laundry startup in India in 2015. “Laundromats and cleaners represent one of the largest Main Street businesses in the United States that was severely underserved by modern software,” says Srivastav, who leads all things business at Turns.
