People at Uma

We started Uma with a simple question: why isn’t convenience truly convenient? From day one, our mission has been to bring intelligent, seamless retail access into the everyday spaces people already live, work, and train. What began as a smart fridge concept is now a fast-growing network of AI-powered micro-stores across Toronto. We’re building more than a vending solution, we’re building culture, brand, and infrastructure around a new way of accessing products. And we’re doing it with speed, grit, and intention.
