Are you the first to volunteer for a service trip or sign up for an international policy class? Do you love to learn about new cultures and discuss environmental or economic issues? Then youll want to check out the startups competing for the Zahn Social Impact Prize on Demo Day. Theyre ready to tackle the world's toughest social issues with cool innovations.
Be sure to check out teams like:
- HandyNYC – This team combines a Tom's model with STEM education. What could be more handy?
- Veripad – You'd be shocked to know how many counterfeit prescription drugs are sold in third world countries. Veripad is giving consumers the power to check their medications with an easy-to-use software.
- EZ Adapt – Since moving sidewalks haven't been created yet, EZ Adapt is creating a line of products to make it easier for people in wheelchairs to get around.
- Rural Igntion – Take a trip to Sri Lanka on Demo Day, where Rural Ignition is protecting the community from harsh cooking fumes.
- Wavergy – I mean, come on, the name says it all. They're capturing energy from waves and it's totally radical, dude.
You can even vote for your favorite. See you on Monday, May 9th? RSVP here: http://bit.ly/ZahnCenterDemoDay
