They're probably who we'd be head to head with.\n\n What's your product differenti",

Or just tell me I'm crazy.\n\nQuick background: I'm Chinese but I grew up in Canada, came here as a kid. Graduated U of T in 2022. Ran a startup in retail before this. My parents are in real estate back in China, so I basically grew up inside business dinners. I learned that sometimes the real negotiation happens during two hours of small talk before anyone mentions business at all. I think that's where the entrepreneurial itch comes from. I've always wanted to build something of my own.\n\nWhat I'm doing now: I'm working with one of the leading commercial cleaning robot manufacturers. I have a strong direct relationship with them and I handle the supply chain side. We're bringing autonomous floor cleaning robots to the Canadian market. Warehouses, malls, schools, hospitals. Anywhere with big floors and a janitorial labor problem.\n\nWhy I'm convinced this is the wedge:\n\nThe labor shortage is real and it's not going away. Try hiring overnight cleaners in the GVA right now. Every facility manager tells me the same story.\n\nThe math is simple. A robot that runs all night, never calls in sick, and costs less than a year of janitorial wages. Short conversation.\n\nAnd cleaning is the most mature robotics vertical out there. This isn't some science project. These machines are already...",
