I'm building a flying companion for people who live alone — looking for women in Shenzhen to see it in person [Paid Research, 60 min]

Hi,

I'm Leo, the founder of a small robotics startup based in Shenzhen. For the past two years I've been working on something I genuinely believe fills a gap nobody has properly addressed: the quiet loneliness of living alone in a city apartment, especially when having a pet just isn't an option.

We just hit our first real physical prototype, and before we go any further I want to sit with real people — not investors, not advisors — and just watch what happens when they see it for the first time.

The product is called Orbi. It floats. It's round. It lives in your space with you. That's about as much as I want to say before you see it in person.

You're probably the right person if:

  • You're a woman between 24–60
  • You live alone in Shenzhen
  • You've genuinely wanted a pet at some point but couldn't — lease rules, travel schedule, lifestyle, whatever the reason
  • You spend long stretches of time at home by yourself

What the session looks like:

  • ~60–70 minutes, in person in Shenzhen
  • You'll see the prototype and I'll ask you about your life at home — not a sales pitch, mostly me listening
  • No right or wrong answers

What you get:

  • Cash compensation for your time
  • Early access when Orbi launches

If this sounds like you, drop a comment or DM me and I'll reach out to set up a time!

Hi r/Shenzhen,

I'm the founder of a small robotics startup based here in Shenzhen. For the past two years I've been working on something I genuinely believe fills a gap nobody has properly addressed: the quiet loneliness of living alone in a city apartment, especially when having a pet just isn't an option.

We just hit our first real physical demo, and before we go any further I want to sit with real people — not investors, not advisors — and just watch what happens when they see it for the first time.
