Funding That Fuels Impact
Gabriel Mandujano, Founder and CEO of Wash Cycle Laundry, partnered with BII to secure an equity investment to support Wash Cycle’s expansion to New England. As the company has grown, it has retained its triple-bottom line focus: clean laundry, clean planet–bikes used for deliveries–and, most importantly, clean slates.
