At @founder.university x Tokyo, LAUNCH's own @rikkijump shared some insights on founder-led sales and then opened up the floor for questions... and Yuki Kanai from Aladdin took advantage of the opportunity. They've developed an AI-powered waste sorting system (think: smart trash cans) that can cut costs, reduce emissions, AND automate recycling for trash-heavy facilities like airports. Aladdin's been aiming BIG, at major enterprise clients, but after hearing Rikki's talk, Yuki's thinking about ways to sell the tech to a broader audience.
