Summary

John Henry is a Dominican-American entrepreneur, founder of the non-profit incubator Cofound Harlem, and a Venture Partner at Harlem Capital Partners. He sold a $1 million dollar business when he was just 21.

In this podcast, he shares his story about starting his first business at 18, an on-demand dry cleaning service for the film and TV industry in New York City, with clients such as The Wolf of Wall Street, Boardwalk Empire, Power, and more.

It began with his philosophy that, “The way you do anything is the way you do everything.” He noticed hardly visible wrinkles in a customer’s blazer and was determined to set a precedent for quality service.

He also discovered the advantage of “riches in niches.” when his dry cleaning service got him client leads in the film industry, and he found a niche market.
