Dallas Just Got a New King of Gig – and It’s Freshly Folded

In a city where the gig-economy hums with engine fumes, fast food runs, and Friday night rideshares, one new platform skips the grease and grabs the garments. NoScrubs, an Austin-based startup launched in Dallas, doesn’t ferry burgers or barhoppers – it whisks away laundry, returning it washed, folded, and warm to the touch within hours. For workers worn down by brake pads and backseat small talk, the quiet churn of a dryer might just be the sound of opportunity.

On July 8, NoScrubs officially launched in Dallas with $2 million in pre-seed funding from Initialized Capital and Frontier VC. Founded by Matt O’Connor, who helped launch Instacart in Austin, the company saw firsthand how convenience reshapes daily life. This time, his focus is laundry – a chore so familiar and often overlooked. NoScrubs picks up, washes, folds, and returns clothes in as little as four hours, beating the typical 6-to-10-hour or even next-day turnaround of most delivery services. For busy customers and gig workers – dubbed Scrubbers – the service turns an age-old task into a modern, streamlined exchange.
