Who We Are
Rinsed builds the software that powers the modern car wash. Today's washes are high-tech, fully automated tunnels that can wash 200+ cars an hour, and the best operators run on monthly memberships, not one-off washes.
We give car wash operators everything they need to sell, manage and grow those memberships: from the tablet in the driveway to the CRM. It's a $15B industry that's been underserved by technology for decades, and we're changing that.
Why we started Rinsed
Hear from two of our co-founders, Austin Esecson and Sam Logan, on how a conversation with car wash operators turned into the software helping 3,000+ washes.
Our Journey So Far
How it Started
While working in private equity, our CEO Austin Esecson sat down with dozens of car wash operators. He saw an industry on the edge of something big. Washes were shifting to all-you-can-wash memberships, but the tools to run a subscription business didn't exist yet.
In 2019, Austin teamed up with co-founders Sam Logan and Nic Hippenmeyer to build them. They showed up to their first Car Wash Show with little more than PDFs and a big idea. In 2021 they joined Y Combinator, launched The Car Wash CRM, and started building the team and tools to support over 3,000 washes across the country.
How it's Going
Today, Rinsed is a full suite of products to run your wash, from the first pitch in the driveway to every member touchpoint after. We’re installed at more than 3,000 car washes and help manage over 9 million memberships.
We're backed by Y Combinator and leading investors, and we have teammates across the US, with hubs in New York City and Lehi, Utah.
