Nick Chapleau

Head of Dispatch (Delivery Product) at Cents | Previously Co-Founder at Starchup (Acquired by Cents) | Cross-Functional Leader, Software Engineer, and Lawyer Excited about Strategy, Problem-Solving, and Execution

Meet Nick Chapleau, a seasoned entrepreneur, lawyer, and CEO of SUD Systems. With years of experience in founding and growing successful businesses, Nick has an impressive background that has taken him from running his painting and landscaping business at 19 to co-founding Starchup, a software platform that reimagines marketing and logistics for SMBs in the garment care space.

After studying for a JD at University of Chicago Law School and earning a B.A. in History and Sociology at Miami University, Nick spent four years practicing litigation law before realizing his passion for solving business problems rather than legal ones. With an eye for growth and a desire to help small businesses, he immersed himself in starting and running successful ventures that have benefitted entrepreneurs and small business owners.

As former CEO and founder of Starchup, Nick played a critical role in taking the company from its early stages through pivots and mergers to become the premium software platform for laundries and dry cleaners. Today, as CEO of SUD Systems, he continues to deliver innovative software solutions to help garment care businesses grow and thrive.
