Handling the business of dirty laundry

While a student at Daystar University Athi river campus, Max Mburu identified an opportunity out of his fellow students’ biggest challenge, laundry. Most of the students disliked doing their laundry and within the environ there were no available laundry services at affordable rates. He took it upon himself to set one, Hamoo laundry which he launched in 2016 to meet this need.

He started by charging per bag of laundry, but later changed to charging Sh100 per kg of laundry. He figured that to keep his core clientele, he had to charge an affordable rate.
