Refined Rides Mobile Detailing
Inspiration: Instead of summer jobs, Anthony and I used seed money from our parents to start Refined Rides Mobile Detailing. We've completed 30+ jobs across St. Louis. Problem: Most business owners know AI could save them hours, but don't understand it or have time to set it up, so they lose leads to manual work. What's unique: We built our lead and outreach systems for our own business first, so we only sell what we've proven. Growth plan: In 50 days, land 3 local automation clients. Within a year, grow detailing memberships and expand to landscaping and HVAC companies. Team: Tamish Varaday, Anthony Balsmo, Owen Lang (Lafayette High School).
