What We Do
Hampr is the connective tissue of a fragmented laundry industry.
On the surface, we’re the consumer brand – the most trusted on-demand laundry service in every market we serve, across residential and commercial customers.
Underneath, we’re aggregating consumer demand at national scale and connecting it to a growing network of laundry operators – with an AI-native intelligence layer coordinating routing, pricing, quality, and throughput across the whole system. Owned facilities sit inside that network as our innovation edge, where we test the hardest problems before rolling them out.
We’re turning the most fragmented service category in America into a single, coordinated network.
The Market
Laundry in the United States is a $40+ billion industry – and one of the most fragmented consumer categories in the country.
~17,500 laundromats
generating $7B in annual revenue, nearly all independently owned
~1,800 industrial and commercial linen operators
serving $21B in annual revenue into hospitality, healthcare, and uniform programs
~31,000 retail laundry and dry-cleaning establishments
adding another $12B
No national consumer brand. No dominant platform. Tens of thousands of operators, each serving a few square miles. A category this essential, this large, and this fragmented doesn't stay fragmented.
The coordinated network wins - and that's Hampr.
Hampr's Traction
Why Hampr Will Win
The consumer brand
Six-plus years of delivering a service customers actually trust with their clothes. Real press coverage in real outlets. We’re the incumbent in most markets we operate — unusual for a category this early.
The demand engine
The Hampr app is the only national consumer channel for laundry. Aggregated consumer demand is the single most valuable primitive in this industry, and no one else is building it.
Asset-light network scale
We grow faster, and with far less capital, than any single-operator model. The operator network gives us national coverage without the capital drag of owning every node. Competitors either try to build it all – slow and expensive – or stay regional and capped.
Intelligence compounding
Millions of loads across dozens of markets feed an AI-native stack that sharpens every day. Routing, pricing, quality, throughput, forecasting – all compound in capability as the network grows.
Hybrid scale architecture
Owned facilities where we set the bar for innovation and quality; network capacity where it lets us scale. Speed and scale – not one or the other.
Leadership built for scale
In 2026 Hampr transitioned to a leadership model built for the next phase: Founder Laurel Hess as President, Brandon Brahms as CEO, Kris Triplett as CTO – all three also serving as the board. Operator-led, tech-forward, and aligned.
