NimNim aims to disrupt dry cleaning
The makers of NimNim, a smartphone app that allows you to order dry-cleaning services, want you to know that getting your laundry done doesn't have to be a pain.
The startup's founders, brothers Akshay and Nimish Sahani, see potential for an on-demand laundry and shoe repair service, especially in a city like Boston, with its mix of college students and working professionals.
"Everyone needs their laundry done," said Akshay Sahani, who left his job at Boston-based IT performance firm AppNeta this past January to pursue NimNim. The app debuted in the Apple App Store less than two weeks ago.
Sahani, a Northeastern University graduate who lives in Westborough, said the service has amassed 170 customers so far in downtown Boston, Back Bay, the North End and Beacon Hill — and the startup hasn't done any marketing yet. It's all been word of mouth, he said. About 50 of those are recurring customers, Sahani said. Sahani said other neighborhoods that NimNim will soon be available in include South Boston, Cambridge and Somerville.
Customers can download the NimNim app, put in their address and fill out some some information about how they want their laundry done. They then can schedule where and when they want their dry cleaning picked up and dropped off. Then a freelance courier will come and pick up their laundry.
For orders under $35, NimNim charges $3.99 for pickup and delivery. For orders over $35, the service is free.
So far, NimNim has been bootstrapped and has a number of advisors, including Sourav Sachin, the former head of engineering at Flipkart, the Amazon of India.
NimNim is just the latest service that takes advantage of smartphone technology to deliver services right to your doorstep. Another Boston-area startup in this space is butler service Alfred, which won the Techcrunch Disrupt competition this year and charges a subscription fee. Other companies such as San Francisco-based Postmates and Austin-based Favor have swooped into Boston to cater to people who want items delivered via app. Google Express has also launched in Boston.

The War in Paris to Clean your Home
Riding the Paris metro or walking the streets, it’s impossible to miss the increasing number of advertisements for tech startups. Airbnb, Drivy, Blablacar, Uber – the sharing economy is after you, whether you’d like to share or be shared. And, in the past 60 days, the latest war isn’t over your car, or your bed, but over your dirty floors.
Since September, three different services offering cleaning services online have launched in Paris – HomeJoy (US, Y-Combinator), Hassle(UK, Accel-backed), Helpling(Germany, Rocket Internet) & Handy (New York, not yet launched in Paris). These four services compete not only with each other, but with traditional maid services in Paris, like Shiva.
Differentiation in this market will be hard, and these companies are competing to attract cleaners, who, in Paris, have increasingly rejected working for cleaning services due to the increased taxes imposed by the state. In addition, these services compete for your floors – churn rate on house cleaners is relatively low beyond the one-off uses – once you’re hooked, you’re not going anywhere.

Nonetheless, the largest points of differentiation of the product happen behind the scenes. For example, while Hassle charges customers the least here in Paris, the cleaners themselves actually make the most, due to Hassle’s use of the Auto-Entrepreneur status. Homejoy, on the other hand, provides materials to all of its cleaners, where other services require clients to provide materials.
Handy has begun to branch out into repairman & plumber services, while Hassle CEO Alexandra Depledge says that, while users are used to paying a flat rate for cleaning services, plumper & repairman rates have so many variables that it’s difficult to put a standard price-tag on a catchall service; therefore, Hassle has chosen to focus on providing the best cleaning service.
I gave one of the services a test drive, and the service is simple: i selected a time and a cleaner was chosen for me. She was punctual, was polite, was well-dressed & professional, and she asked questions when she couldn’t find something. After she had been working for an hour, I left her alone in the house and went off to work, and when I came home, the place was clean. For someone like me, I could easily imagine having a 4-hour clean once every two weeks.
The market is still young, but it money is being poured into this market fast. The next 12-18 months will be key for this market in France – interestingly enough, no significant players from France have emerged beyond the ‘old world’ brick and mortar models.

Could new technology help older people in Barcelona create stronger networks?
As life expectancies grow ever greater, cities around the world are being forced to face up to the challenges posed by social isolation and deteriorating health among their ageing populations.
More than 20% of Barcelona residents are 65 or over, according to city data, and that is expected to rise to 25% by 2040. To combat the problem the Catalan capital has come up with VinclesBCN – an app which helps at-risk elderly people, and their families and helpers, create collaborative care networks. The project won the Bloomberg Philanthropies Mayors Challenge 2014 last month, scooping the top prize of €5m in funding.
“People in cities tend to be anonymous, while in a rural context they look after each other and relationships are closer,” says Josep Maria Miró, who is head of the social innovation department at Barcelona city council and has been part of the multidisciplinary team working on VinclesBCN. “This also worries other European cities because most of their population is living in urban areas where solitude and isolation are intensified.”
Fernando García Bernal, a mobile developer and project contributor, explains that the app generates a trusted network of people who can organise activities for elderly users: “It can be installed on a tablet or mobile – allowing the elderly to make calls, send and receive multimedia content, share a calendar and transfer money easily and safely.” The hope is that, as well as helping the older people meet their basic needs, VinclesBCN will also encourage them to try new things, adds Josep Maria.
The city council – which is currently trialling the initiative with 20 elderly people in Barcelona – will provide training and help to users, who will be able to invite up to 10 close family members, friends, neighbours, social or healthcare employees to be part of their private circle. These network members can then respond to the user’s alerts, reminders and needs, interact with other people in the circle and organise activities.
The initiative hopes to reduce the isolation felt by some older people and provide careworkers with a network of support. Fernando believes that the app will give both groups improved connections to wider society and a better quality of life.
The app is expected to reach 20,000 over-65s, and integrate about 100,000 people in total through their trusted networks. “Barcelona can do it,” says Josep Maria. “People are receptive and my intuition is positive … Our hypothesis is that VinclesBCN overcomes urban isolation. We believe this but we need to find data that corroborates it. If the tests give us good results, the project might be replicated in other European cities.”
