In this episode of What the Tech from Boast.AI, we sit down with Nyle MacLeod, Co-Founder of CondoScan, to discuss why condo buying is fundamentally different—and why most buyers have no idea what they're actually purchasing.

What You'll Learn:

→ Why buying a condo means you're buying into a corporation (not just a home)
 → The hidden documents and financial accounts that scare first-time buyers
 → How reserve funds, special assessments, and bylaws actually work
 → Why CondoScan's document review helped one buyer negotiate $100K off asking price
 → The difference between due diligence and overwhelming information
 → How personalized analysis reveals risks unique to each buyer
 → The realtor tool launching soon that changes the buying experience
 → Why Calgary's startup ecosystem is powerful for early-stage founders
 → What happens when you prioritize clarity over complexity

About Nyle MacLeod:

Nyle grew up entrepreneurial, working at scrappy startups while in business school. He's a generalist who loves the zero-to-one phase of building—finding problems and getting them started. He reconnected with developer co-founder Ewan when Ewan brought the idea for CondoScan: what if we made buying a condo less terrifying?
