What if the best startup isn't sexy at all? In 2013, Vijen Patel left private equity to pursue “the least-worst idea”: dry cleaning. No patents. No app wizardry. Just laundry lockers in high-rises, ruthless unit economics, and a $1.99-a-shirt price that was seared into America's brain.From bootstrapping routes at 5 a.m. to breaking even in 6 weeks, Vijen and co-founder Drew McKenna scaled Pressbox to hundreds of locations, stared down well-funded competitors, and ultimately sold to Procter & Gamble, where Pressbox became Tide Cleaners (now ~1,200 locations). After the exit, Vijen launched The 81 Collection, a VC fund backing “boring” businesses that quietly power the economy.This episode is a masterclass in building profit first, creating user behavior (not changing it), and protecting customer retention like your life depends on it.What you'll learn:How the “least-worst idea” found product-market fitHow sidestepping rent + labor can flip margins from 15% to ~40%The efficiency insight that beat “Uber-for-X” rivalsThe new-residence edge: creating customer habits with a welcome-kitWhy Pressbox had to set crazy-high retention goals (98%!)How to keep competitors close—and turn a Goliath into your buyerThe post-exit premise: “boring” businesses are engines of the middle classTimestamps:Choosing dry cleaning with a private equity lens: don't do it for passion–focus on practicality — 00:09:30The SMS “app”: low tech, high convenience — 00:14:14Unit economics breakthrough: lockers (26 transactions per hr) versus scheduled pickup (4-6) — 00:18:55The $1.99 insight: a price everyone expected — 00:24:58How getting into Chicago's top high-rise was a game-changer — 00:31:11Margins that work: if you're a high-rise “amenity,” you don't pay rent — 00:33:08Competing with Washio: convenience wins — 00:39:07Vertical integration: building the plant, staffing via Spanish newspapers — 00:41:48P&G looms: head-to-head, then the acquisition dance — 00:51:25Burnout, trade-offs, and life after exit: launching a VC fund that specializes in boring businesses — 01:03:28This episode was produced by Alex Cheng with music composed by Ramtin Arablouei.
