Max Levchin, Keith Rabois And David Sacks Back The Uber For Carwashes, Cherry
Getting a carwash is one of those tasks that I avoid until I absolutely need to get it done. Frankly, it's not high up on the list of things I want to do when I have spare time on the weekend. Enter Cherry, a newly launched startup that brings on-demand carwashes to you and your car. The startup is also announcing $750,000 in seed funding from a number of ex-PayPal employees including Yammer CEO David Sacks, PayPal founder Max Levchin and Square COO Keith Rabois.The service replicates how disruptive taxi service Uber allows users to book cars. Using either a web or a iOS app (Android will be launching soon), users can specify the location of their car on a street (as well as what type of car, color and license plate number) in a parking lot, or another public area. Once you check in with your cars location on Cherry, the service's technology immediately finds and dispatches a carwash professional to wash your car right where you left it, and you dont even need to be there.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/UJkjV1O96lc/
