Founder & Operator

Logan Newman

From detailing cars in Des Moines at fifteen to seven ventures across services, software, and AI. One belief the whole way: people pay for problems solved, not promises made.

Fall 2021 · Des Moines, Iowa

I started with a bucket, not a business plan.

Fifteen years old, detailing cars in my hometown. One rule from day one: leave everything better than you found it.

What the work taught me

The cars were never the point.

Show up on time. Do exceptional work. Take care of people. Years of service work drilled in the fundamentals no classroom teaches, and I’ve built everything since on them.

The turn

Then I started building what I wished existed.

A receptionist that answers at 2 a.m. A stockroom that watches itself. A to-do list built for ADHD brains. A detailer, summoned like a ride.

Today · Scottsdale, Arizona

From the service industry to artificial intelligence.

Seven ventures before turning twenty, each one built on a problem I’ve stood close enough to touch.

About me

Builder first.

I didn’t start with software. I started with soap.

Sudbuds Detailing, started when I was fifteen, taught me the fundamentals no classroom teaches: show up, do exceptional work, and take care of people better than anyone else will. Those fundamentals scaled into software and AI products across industries: an AI receptionist for businesses, inventory software for dental practices, a productivity manager designed for ADHD brains, and a marketplace that books a detailer the way you’d call a ride.

I’m nineteen. I don’t lead with that, and I don’t hide it. It just means I’ve spent every year since fifteen doing this work. I try to carry myself the way I run my companies: do what you said you’d do, be straight with people, and leave things better than you found them.

How I work

The playbook behind every venture.

Solve something real

Every venture starts with a problem someone actually has: a missed call, a lost supply order, a to-do list that doesn’t fit how your brain works.

Simple beats clever

The best product is the one people actually use. I’d rather ship one obvious solution than ten impressive features nobody asked for.

Stay in the work

I operate what I build. Detailing cars taught me that quality is a habit, not a feature, and habits only survive when the founder keeps showing up.
