John MacKrell
CEO & Founder
In 2019 I founded a technology-driven, on-demand laundry service for time-starved consumers (happynest.com). Our cloud-based and app based platform provides weekly laundry service to over 30,000 customers in 38 states. As founder and CEO I established the HappyNest concept, hired the team, raised capital and continue to set the strategic direction of the Company. Previously I was a laundromat investor, a Leveraged Finance Banker, and an active-duty Army officer. My wife and I have 4 children and we reside in North Kingstown, RI.
How to Successfully Find a Co-Founder
CLICK HERE TO ADD THIS EVENT TO YOUR CALENDAR
Starting a business requires far more than one person’s expertise. Successful founders recognize that turning an idea into a thriving enterprise often depends on partnering with someone whose strengths complement their own. The right co-founder can bring sharper strategy, stronger execution, and greater focus to the business journey. In this interactive workshop, two entrepreneurs will share why they made the strategic decision to bring on co-founders and how those partnerships contributed to their success. Participants will learn the criteria they used to select the right partner, the expectations they established from Day One, and the practical steps they took to build cohesive, productive, and high-performing working relationships.
