Founder, CleaningPOS
Ade has had a borderline obsessive relationship with clean shoes since childhood. After 8 years building tech products and launching several businesses, he spent two years embedded in a close friend's shoe cleaning operation — learning intake, pricing, customer management, and every friction point in between. What he found: no software understood how a shoe cleaning business actually runs. CleaningPOS is his answer to that. This course is everything he wishes he'd had on day one.
