MappedIn

#13 If you’re walking through a major Canadian mall, Hongwei Liu’s company probably helped map it. A few years ago, he dropped out of the University of Waterloo to focus on MappedIn, a Google Maps–type software platform for indoor spaces. Nine of the country’s 10 largest shopping centres—including the Eaton Centre and Square One—now use his system. Investors have bought in to the tune of $3.5 million. The platform is impressively precise: in one Indigo store, you can use MappedIn to find a specific book on a shelf.
