In this episode of The Fractional Podcast, Stella Han sits down with Benjamin Huang, an operator who successfully raised capital on Fractional to buy a laundromat — and turned a failing business into a cash-flowing machine. Now, he’s back with a bold mission: build a $3M laundromat investment club and eventually IPO a company that becomes the Uber of home services.

Benjamin shares how he underwrote 172 businesses before his first acquisition, why laundromats are his foundation, and the mindset shift from deal-by-deal investing to community-backed growth. He also opens up about the power of team-building, creative deal structuring, and his long-term vision to transform an outdated industry.

If you’ve ever thought about owning a small business, raising capital, or scaling with community, this episode is a masterclass.
