Curbside Announces New Head of Partnerships
Curbside Laundries has announced that Royal Bateman has joined the company as Head of Partnerships. The appointment is the latest in a series of hires this year as Curbside adds depth across sales, marketing, development, and operations to support a growing client base.
Bateman brings a track record of building partnerships across the SMB and mid-market segments, with experience spanning real estate, furniture, and equipment rental. He has worked with brands including Hyundai Glovis, Nectar, The Gap, eXp Realty, Midas Network, and Ashley Furniture, in roles ranging from founding account executive at early-stage companies to enterprise-level partnership development.
In his new role, Bateman will lead the Curbside Partner Program, working with distributors, manufacturers, lenders, investors, supply and tech companies, influencers, consultants, and other industry professionals. The program includes referral, wholesale, and custom package options. Companies interested in partnering with Curbside can reach Bateman directly at rbateman@curbsidelaundries.com.
“Laundromat owners already trust Curbside and because of its track record, that gives partners a solid product to stand behind,” Bateman said. “My job is to make that easy on both sides, simple for partners to work with us, and valuable for the owners who benefit from it.”
“Our Partner Program is a way to strengthen relationships we already have across the industry,” said Matt Simmons, co-founder of Curbside Laundries. “Royal gives us someone dedicated to growing our network the right way and help educate our business partners on how we help grow our clients’ wash and fold revenue.”
“Royal joins us at a point where more partners are asking how to bring Curbside into their client relationships,” said Aaron Simmons, co-founder of Curbside Laundries. “He has the experience to build that channel into something real, both for our partners and for the laundromat owners they serve.”
