Our Story
How it All Began
Our founders entered the cleaning robotics industry in 2018 after years in diverse corporate roles. While helping develop commercial cleaning robots, we kept running into the same issue: robots had to stay 20cm away from walls for safety, leaving dirty edges behind and creating more work for cleaning staff. We searched for a compact machine that could solve this—but found only compromises. Some were sleek but unreliable. Others worked well but were overpriced. So we asked ourselves: why not build the solution we were looking for? We found a clear gap in the market: small and mid-sized spaces needed a lightweight, powerful machine that could clean faster and better than mops—without compromising on quality or ease of use. With encouragement from cleaning professionals, we took the leap and built the solution we couldn't find.
The Start of the Adventure
In late 2022, our CEO secured a multi-million dollar investment to bring our vision to life. By mid-2023, we had our first prototype. We took it to customers, and within just one hour of seeing it, many professionals said: “We want it.” Some of them had been exclusive Karcher distributors for over 30 years - yet they were ready to take on our product. Why? Because Karcher didn’t have anything like it. And the market had been waiting too long for a solution like this. After investing nearly $5 million into engineering, design and manufacturing refinement, we launched Artist 1 - a machine that we believe will redefine the cleaning profession.
Why We're Different
Compared to many established Western brands, Aventurier is a much younger company. But that’s exactly our strength. We’re not bound by legacy systems or outdated design philosophies. Instead, we get to design our machines from a blank slate - using the latest technology, materials and user insights available today. Every feature of Artist 1 exists because it solves a real problem in a smarter way. At the same time, unlike many small startups, we are backed by venture capital. This gives us the resources to invest heavily in product development, testing and quality control - without cutting corners. We can afford to pursue the perfect balance of performance, reliability and beauty.
Why ‘Aventurier’ & ‘Artist 1’?
The name Aventurier means "adventurer" in French. For us, launching this company was a bold journey into the unknown—one that required vision, risk-taking, and resilience. Our first product is called Artist 1—because we see every cleaner not just as a worker, but as an artist shaping the environment. With Artist 1, we bring beauty, dignity, and efficiency to the cleaning profession. No more back-breaking work. No more outdated tools. Just a sleek, powerful machine that makes cleaning feel modern—and meaningful.
We’re Not Just Building Machines.
We’re Redefining a Profession.
Effortless performance, smart tools, and restored dignity - Artist 1 transforms cleaning into something more. It works faster and deeper with less strain, replacing the old mop with modern, professional equipment that empowers cleaners to take pride in their craft. Because to us, cleaning isn’t just a job - it’s a skill, a discipline, an art. And with Artist 1, every cleaner has the tools to master it. Artist 1 – Make Cleaning an Art.
