What students are saying

Real operators. Real machines on real routes.

“I watched guru videos for 6 months and did nothing. Within 14 days of this program, I used the cold-email script and secured my first laundromat location. Just placed my 4th machine last week and I'm clearing $1,200/mo profit.”

“The location score calculator alone is worth the $20. I was about to put a machine in a terrible spot, but the calculator told me to walk away. I pivoted to an auto shop and it's my best performer.”

“I tried buying a pre-existing route and almost lost $10k. Vendflow taught me how to source my own locations for free. I've scaled to 11 machines in 8 months. The contracts and compliance templates saved me hours.”
