The story

CleanGuru is a small Michigan-based vertical SaaS (2 employees per LinkedIn) serving janitorial and residential cleaning businesses. Founded by operators who ran a $2M+ cleaning business, the product started as CleanBid — a bidding/proposal tool — and expanded into an all-in-one operations suite (bidding, invoicing, scheduling, GPS timekeeping, inspections). Business model is straightforward subscription SaaS ($79–$159/mo tiers); no embedded finance monetization is disclosed.
