The capital will be deployed to expand the team and invest in proprietary logistics and washing facilities.
From the founder
"We knew being just another laundry app wouldn't cut it. Developing a model that was hyper local, carbon neutral and tech enabled – that reversed the sector's adverse impact on the planet rather than adding to it was fundamental."
Kyle Grant
Chief Executive at Oxwash
Investor perspective
"When I met Kyle and Tom, the founders of Oxwash, I knew immediately they were the type of purposeful leaders I love to work with; their passion, drive and enthusiasm for sustainable laundry was infectious. Through the Collective Impact programme I get to meet the most inspiring founders and am constantly blown away by their innovative, creative and commercial approach to sustainable business. Oxwash will turn the traditional laundry sector on its head, proving yet again that purposeful business is great business."
