OUR STORY
From the College Classroom to the National Stage
Our company started out as a group of friends entering our college's Social Venture and Innovation Challenge with an idea born out of an Ecology class. We realized we had stumbled upon a good idea when we won. As we continued to enter other competitions, we were able to meet industry professionals and successful investors who saw our vision and a certain spark in our team. The financial support from these competitions and guidance from mentors has allowed us to take this idea into the lab and develop our product. We are a hardworking, scrappy, and fun team who is ready to run and take on these major global issues.
