Thank you Thank you so much Lou. So without further ado, I'm going to invite our first founder today So our first founder is a social entrepreneur and an artist she has a decade of experience bridging indigenous communities tech and fashion companies to Build a more equitable and sustainable world her company roots studio Is on a mission to bridge cultures and reverse culture loss through beauty and wonder. Please welcome Rebecca. Hey Thank you, man Roots studio is Reimagining cultural sustainability through digital licensing by bridging communities globally into the 32 billion dollar fashion and retail industry the Reputation we've really been able to create in the cultural zeitgeist is what if you can connect the communities who are authentically living with the land and also understand the power of the seat to a massive multi-billion dollar market that is Really looking for answers and authenticity, but don't really know where to find it So to give you a little bit of a backdrop of how I started on this journey I spent 10 years working with indigenous communities and I was so inspired by the ways in which they are Connected to farming practices and as producers of their own materials And what you see is just this incredible amount of creativity But the ways in which justice getting out for them is generally in typical artists and business models That are not exactly scalable because just imagine how long it would take to get one of these items all the way to an end consumer And then you keep the artists in the position of a labor and they still have the final turn of income Simultaneously you have these massive brands that are looking for inspiration every single season They spend north of 300k a year just to travel to these countries take inspiration and it ends up on one of their collections One fashion collection on average that has a lot of core and co-ethnic designs on average makes at least 3.8 million dollars So we connect these two worlds together We build the foundations between indigenous communities in global fashion brands through the touchpoint of our heritage library We run the largest library with over 10,000 unique assets that are traceable back to every single artist and community We work with artists that were practicing matrilineal tattooing traditions to the backdrops of village theater And we train artists to digitize their work running monthly workshops that are then submitted into the archive Segmented by incoming trends that can be rented for a season on top of that. It's not just about the artwork It's a holistic context in which the art is from so there's also a large editorial level archive of photo b-roll first person Conversations from the artists and communities sharing their knowledge and information So to show you end-to-end some of the collaborations we've done here's a community from Maharashtra in India was traditionally done on house walls. We digitized the artwork and a Brand from the Pacific Northwest outdoor research licensed it in 2019. They said the hoodie sold out within two months and It was also one of the largest injections of capital back to the community because we do a community dividend fund rather than a one-time artist injection So it went so well that they continue to do three years of partnerships with us and On average all the brands we partner with have retained On average we see that everyone that we work with will continue to partner with us for multiple seasons And we are backed by some of the most influential Leaders in the cultural zeitgeist across fashion and retail Which has enabled us to release more than five million products that impact cultural sustainability with Doubling our revenue every single year and tripling the annual household income of the artists that we work with we work now globally across 6,500 artists So but we're not stopping just that fashion and retail We really believe that the potential for creativity amongst rural indigenous communities is much larger than what we've already accomplished If you're interested in joining our financing round come to me afterwards and then you can see there's alignments And I'm happy to share more financials If you're a fashion and retail partner, we're always looking for values aligned partners And if you are representing an artist or community, we would love to get you in touch with our community organizing team. Thank you So the second founder that you're going to hear from today Her story is also about roots. So 10 years ago She moved to a remote mountain village in rural China following the footsteps of her ancestors going back 14 generations And it was there that she rediscovered her ancestral roots and was inspired to launch a zero carbon women's wear line using ancient techniques and Down by indigenous tribes. Please welcome Angel Chen. Hi. I'm Angel Cheng I'm the founder of the world's first zero carbon women's wear line I've been designing for the last 18 years starting at fashion brands like Donna Karen in New York Chloe in Paris and more recently at Lululemon and It was while working at these brands that I discovered how polluting the fashion industry is and gave tech talks to raise consumer awareness about this Fashion is one of the most polluting industries in the world. It's run on fossil fuels and contributes up to 10% of global carbon emissions Most clothing today is made from plastics and chemicals that are harmful to workers to the environment and to the skin on your body And so there is growing demand for sustainable clothing However, style fit and sustainability rarely converge While most eco brands target younger consumers at the lower price point luxury consumers are being left out They also desire sustainable clothes, but few of these brands cater to them And so at Angel Cheng we designed for luxury consumers and their refined taste by offering zero carbon women's wear That's natural and handmade by indigenous tribes in the mountains For the past 10 years, I've been working with Miao and Dong ethnic minority grandmothers in Guizhou province in rural China To create clothes made see the button entirely by hand without electricity using ancient techniques that follow the cycles of nature We use just three ingredients sun plants and mountain water Which has led us to features in vogue departures team magazine and the Financial Times By harnessing the traditional craftsmanship. We've created the world's first ever zero carbon women's wear line We are the category leader in zero carbon living And we sell the aspirational lifestyle of a zero carbon future one that is optimistic healthy and more beautiful than today So after eight years of development Angel Cheng launched successfully in 2020 at the height of the pandemic as a direct-to-consumer climate neutral certified brand and This led to over 100 clients placing orders online 19% of them placing reorders and a less than 1% return rate Last month we had our first in-person fashion show during New York Fashion Week and vogue business featured us as New York sustainable new guard and So we're now expanding production to indigenous artisans around the world Which will bring jobs that uplift rural communities, especially for women and keep their biocultural heritage and traditional know-how alive As for the global impact our collection of lines with these 10 UN sustainable development goals And so working with artisans is not only good for the planet. It's a big market personal luxury goods combined with the creative manufacturing and handmade sector is a combined one trillion dollar addressable market for us and So beyond our line We've also been approached by many international brands about collaborations and consulting and these partnerships are a huge opportunity To buoy our existing brand by accelerating brand awareness by scaling up production and creating alternative sources of revenue Over the past ten years we've built a supply chain to produce at scale And so now is the time to invest in marketing and so we're currently raising up to three million dollars to add sales and marketing To design more collections and to expand production globally If you like to see the collection, it's on view this week at the so kept marketplace, which is right next to the registration desk And so swing by and I'll be happy to tell you more. Thank you Thank you, Angel. So you've heard from two founders preserving Ancient craftsmanship from indigenous communities and tribes now you're going to hear from a founder who is preserving one of the most precious assets That we have on earth water 80% of all industrial and residential waste water are Minimally treated or untreated before discharge into receiving water bodies and this is having devastating impacts on human health and also the environment our fellow Dr. Orianna Brechker has invented a breakthrough technology to rapidly treats wastewater and recover energy as direct electricity Please welcome Orianna. Thank you so much Pleasure to be here today. So I'm gonna turn a really sharp corner with y'all. This is interactive. Okay So why wastewater? Well, we're gonna tell a little bit of that story How many of you have used one of these? Pretty much all of us on a camping trip, right? How many of you have used one that looks like this? How about having to do this? One third of the world's population This is their daily. This is their daily every day, right? And in fact, it's preferable to use an unstable pit latrine You know open defecation is preferable to an unsafe pit latrine And the reason that we still have open defecation today is because wastewater treatment as we know it is Extremely expensive requires a massive amount of infrastructure is Perhibitive in most countries to adopt requires highly skilled operators to operate and a whole lot of electricity to keep running And a little known fact wastewater treatment that we employ today water and wastewater treatment Actually generates more greenhouse gas emissions than the entire shipping industry So if we were to sewer that 80% of the population that that doesn't have access to adequate sanitation We would reach our limits in terms of greenhouse gas emissions really really fast Aquacycle solve these issues we have a sustainable approach for distributed sanitation Which uses a bioelectrochemical system? Taking advantage of natural microbial processes to both generate electricity at the same time that we clean the water each one of our units is about the size of Standard car battery and we stack these little batteries together like Legos inside a shipping container And we plug and play on site for a small community or an industrial client We're actually starting an industry so that we can scale our manufacturing and address some of these serious issues that that industry is facing today our first client is Pepsi Cola We've been operating with them on one of their sites for over a year and a half Saving them net 30% on their sewer bill and Mitigating over a hundred tons of greenhouse gases every single month in a single 40-foot container So our goal working with Pepsi co working with other industries and ultimately working into distributed sanitation Is to take these little batteries bring them to a point where they are extremely cost-effective and? bring distributed sanitation to areas in the world that need the most and So we're very excited to move forward. We do have a round open. I'm more than happy to talk to anybody about that We're scaling up with some of the major brands some of the first lead platinum distilleries in the United States and Major CPG companies helping them protect healthy watersheds and communities worldwide. Thanks very much Thank You Oriana So the next fellow that you're going to hear from is also tackling the problem of waste and Her friends even called her the trash queen So what triggered her entrepreneurial journey is a simple question from consumers in Mexico? Where can I recycle this? Let's listen to Lizette's answer. Hi, my name is Lizette Cordero. I'm from Mexico and Have you ever think about recycle recycling something but don't know where to recycle? Well that happens every time with all the consumers because the consumers are confused They want to recycle they don't know where to recycle so They want to know what type of plastic they have in their hands and they want to contribute to circular economy But don't know how so that's why we created a map for Mexico where we have Located all the collection centers in Mexico. Most of them are formal and the others are informal so We arranged this part of where to recycle How we do it how a colana? Pro is for profitable is we connect the consumer to the brand because the brands wants to Contact with the consumer in order to tell them where to recycle Also, we connect with a recycler and with the collection center the collection centers are the warehouses that buy and sell recyclables and In Mexico and Latin America they recycle they collect more than the 50% that is recycled So they are the key stakeholders in the value chain What our services we make consultancy for CPG's we make campaigns For recycling we also make communication in our in our social media and in our platform We have an app that you can scan the barcode of the the barcode of any package and they will tell you where to recycle and We also do large volumes because we go Manually visit these collection centers disinformal collection center and ask them to collect more recyclables This is several of our clients that we work in Mexico and The impact that we have done is that we have more than 5,000 hundred 500,000 searches in our platform. We have more than 60,000 downloads and we have more than 10,000 of products Scanned by the consumer and we also have the biggest collection center database in Mexico and we have recycled more than 4 Thousand tons recycled our expansion is to go to Peru and Colombia and Recycle because our system can apply to other parts of Latin America and we want to recycle more than 12,000 tons and to reach more than 1 million users What are we looking for in two years grants? In an investment and improvements in our app because right now all these Scanning and revising all the information of the products. It's manually, but we want to apply AI and Of course, we want to expansion to Latin America because our clients the partners in Latin America are looking for us and That's a Colana if you want to contact me just come here and we want to connect for recycling Thanks, Lizette. So you have heard from some of our fellows creating opportunities and preserving the planet now I'm going to introduce you to four health care entrepreneurs on the mission to improve our lives Dr. Caliguin is one of our 2020 fellows She's a serial entrepreneur and her newest venture has already become a tech leader in highly scalable remote patient monitoring Please welcome Kelly Thank you main 2020 During the year of in the midst of a global lockdown we were living in a lot of fear and We we couldn't even call or meet up or give hugs to our loved ones COVID-19 took away the lives of more than one million Patients in the US health care systems were overfilled with over capacity pressures Patients living with chronic illnesses were suddenly cut off from their care and Did you know that chronic illnesses each year takes away the life of 1.7? patients in the US alone at a cost of over four trillion dollars and that's where our company has been doing R&D for for around five years and It didn't really take off until the pandemic hit when all the patients were at home and the care to their providers and clinics were very challenged so Medicare and a lot of the payers began to cover some of the work that we were doing and reduce the limitations and the you know the limitations for that so that's where we It's dr. Kumo and our mission is to revolutionize connected health and what we do is we We connected like we have a group of the cyber security data scientists in our team along with health care professionals like myself and other physicians nurses and Pharmacists medical assistants, so we work together to build a platform It is a SAS software as a service subscription to enable Physicians and clinics and hospitals to understand the patient's vital signs in real time and Modify the care plan in accordance to the patient's state of being and we challenged the Conventional way of before the pandemic Where if a patient has hypertension and you go in only once a month once every three months and take a snapshot we say that that is not the most optimal care for the patients and so We in our ecosystem We take care of the patients at the comfort of their homes the providers can get reimbursement Using our technology and the health care and the payers reduce Avoid unnecessary hospitalizations. We've grown a lot. We've had a lot of numerous awards from the national and global Award and we ask you if you believe in what we do to support talk to us reach out to us be our clients our Customers our collaborators. Thank you so much for the opportunity Thank you so much Kelly So our next founder is also has also designed a solution for Patients living with chronic diseases, but in sub-Saharan Africa So rates of deaths from chronic disease in a region are rising in a rapidly rate And it's rising faster than anywhere else and her company has built a digital platform for healthier Africa and is now Expanding geographically. Let's listen to Nekka mobson co-founder and CEO of MDoc Thank you so much man. Hello everybody. My name is Nekka mobson I'm co-founder and CEO of MDoc and we provide virtual self-care health coaching to people living with chronic health needs in primarily Nigeria We do this by leveraging data behavioral science as well as quality improvement methods and tech So essentially we're headquartered in Nigeria and I have a team of over 55 Employees my background is that of a pediatrician as well as an engineer So you see before you a picture of my father My father was a middle-class Nigerian professor who essentially died Prematurely due to complications from a massive stroke that he had at the age of 52 Largely because he did not have access to a medical team to support him in managing his uncontrolled hypertension The reality is that my father's situation is not unique More than 320 million Africans are living today with diabetes and hypertension of that the WHO estimates that 20% will die prematurely preventably From this diseases if the status quo does not change at MDoc. We're working to tackle that We provide a virtual integrated care platform Essentially, that's leverages a four pillar approach Here you see that we provide an omni-channel proprietary platform called complete health Which provides virtual nudges through our coaches to support people primarily on lifestyle modifications for the 99.9% of the time that they're out of a hospital However, we leverage our Navi health dot AI Essentially a geocoded director of health services facilities and providers to support them to find quality in-person care when that's needed We recognize that mobile phone and smartphone penetration rates are not appropriate proxies for digital literacy And so we've created an in-person coaching experience through our tech enabled community nudge hubs as well as through roving Community ambassadors who meet people at the mosque at churches in the market to support them on how to onboard onto the digital platform And live their healthiest life All of this is bolstered through our tele-education platform that where we provide Education to both doctors nurses and other types of providers as well as patients We're really proud of what we've been able to deliver Today we serve over a hundred thousand people in Nigeria Majority of whom make less than three dollars a day. So markets women drivers traders Majority of the people that we serve are actually women today We serve over 82 percent of our members being women and about seventy seven per seventy seven Percent actually have smartphones hence the need for our ussd and sms integration into our enabled AI enabled chatbots We run a b2b to see subscription based model where we provide annualized contracts to employees employers and other corporates Where we provide support to their beneficiaries and then we also run a b2c side where we provide tier based Subscription pricing to individuals with our most popular tier being 60 cents a month to receive virtual health coaching today We've ensured that over our members with hypertension have seen sustained reductions in hypertension as well as glycemic control and we're aligned with the SDG Target three specifically we're saving lives and it's this work that's being presented in Conferences around the world as well as being submitted for peer-reviewed publications It's throughout partners the partnerships that were able to save lives And we're hoping to partner with many of you today in the room we'll be kicking off a raise at the end of q2 next year and we hope to reach over 200,000 more members across Kenya Ghana and Southern Africa and we hope that you'll join us to ensure a healthier happier and more productive Africa. Thank you Thank You Neko and now please join me in welcoming team chief founder of click medics a global mobile health Social enterprise teams company is bringing affordable and quality health care services to underserved Patients let's find out more about her solution Hi, everyone click medics was born out of MIT with the audacious mission of improving the health of Over-abilling people and in order to do that as quickly as possible What we do is to enable existing health organizations that are already serving various communities by providing them with technology in Telemedicine in AI and in automation Here's how it works patient will come through to a health facility a health worker typically will provide Screening services with a variety of Bluetooth enabled devices and Our system will then provide a triage level of the diagnosis and a risk level and determine What is the next best action? It could be to connect with a remote doctor could be to go to a clinic or go to an actual local pharmacy It also generates step-by-step Follow-up plans so that the patient can be fully treated The system also learns from this process and gets smarter at the next diagnosis at the next treatment The first project we did was in Botswana and in Botswana We trained just four health workers on cervical cancer screening and in that one summer of three months They literally saved the lives of 96 women who had cervical cancer and didn't know that could be treated and Since then the government of Botswana has adopted the program and generates over a million dollars in savings annually So I stopped there We expended globally. We're currently Deployed in 20 more than 20 country 24 in County We serve over two million patients and we created 3500 and running new jobs and Of the patient population we service 70% of them didn't even know they had a disease For those we found could be treated We've lowered the cost of their treatment by 50 to 90 percent and for those patients who otherwise would never see a doctor They were treated within three days and our business model is we sell the software to both public and private sector health Organizations they pay us a setup fee as well as a per user per month fee The system not only manages massive number of patients in variety of diseases It's also able to predict when that disease is going to get worse and most importantly it can prevent the disease from worsening We're compared to lots of other software solutions such as medical records AI chatbots and telemedicine platforms What we are is an all-in-one solution that is at a lower cost at any of the other solutions our plan to increase our impact is to scale what we have currently and Grow the health worker workforce to over 20,000 within the next five years We're also scaling our door-to-door programs in Latin America in Africa in the US We work on dementia care and we provide a population health AI solution to insurance companies And with the growth trajectory, we will be able to serve over 14 million patients Our team consists of serial entrepreneurs in technology and health care We have a team of engineers as well as well-renowned medical experts and We're here to ask for your partnership and for you to innovate and invest in the future of health care So that together we can actually reach over a billion people. Thank you. Thank you, team So our last founder pitching today is John He is the co-founder and CEO of non-spec and he is here to represent our fellow Aaron Keeney Who is unfortunately not able to join us today? So, do you know that three million amputations are carried out every year? However, only a small portion of people can afford Prosthetic limbs because of their high cost John and Aaron They have come up with a solution to produce limb kits for clinics to easily feed amputees Without specialized training or tools and all this at an affordable price. Let's take a look at John and Aaron's solution Thank you So the mission of non-spec is relatively simple Our goal is to provide clinics with adjustable and affordable devices that they can scale to effectively any patient We do this because the clinics we work with don't have the time or the resources to fit the massive backlog of patients that currently exists and we really believe that if we can do this Every amputee will have a chance to walk again Right now, there's about 54 million amputees the vast majority of them about 35 million Will never receive a device of those that do the wait time on average Including in the developed world is over two years and this has to do with just how many clinicians there are there aren't that many I used to joke that if you took everyone in the US you could fill a small ballroom with all the specialized people This is a huge problem and it gets more complicated as you leave Develop nations just because of the cost of fitting. I'll never forget one of the first patients we ever worked with She was a young woman. She had been working as a nurse in the hospital We were treating her at and she had literally just taken a double shift She was tired and she got into an accident in the parking lot And she had been waiting for three and a half years because she lost her job when she wasn't able to complete her normal tasks We realized we had to do a better job So we created an off-the-shelf kit that can be fit in under an hour by a minimally trained technician The core device contains all of the equipment needed to ensure a reliable world-class fit and by standardizing the components We are actually making it possible to leverage economies of scale in this field Right now we're able to undercut the traditional fitting of a prosthetic by 50 percent Against donated limbs just because of the amount of time we can save As a result of this our patients are up on their feet that much faster In the clinics that we work with we go out of our way to work directly with the people in the community There's always a few people who are artisans that they make components And we do our best to incorporate their technologies and their approaches. It's important for adoption For the amputees that use our limb they're able to go back to what they love to do That young woman who's been walking on our leg I think it's not been five and a half years She still texts us to let us know what she can do and it's little things It's like I walked my daughter to school But it makes such a big difference when you have the ability to make those changes We've deployed this device on over 500 patients across hundreds of clinics And we primarily have been making sales in large bulk units But the trick is it's hard to scale this without more manufacturing We're currently seeking additional funding to allow us to get through that manufacturing gap and to scale up our product This will allow us to make larger orders and actually bring us to a point Where we'll be able to take these devices to the next phase which is actually deploying them without a clinician And that's our current plan with your help We're really hoping to build out the partnerships needed to ensure that in the future when a patient goes to a clinic They're not just going to be fit. They're going to be fit in the same day and they'll walk out of there under their own power Thank you Thank you so much john Thank you to everyone for listening to our eight founders today And if you're interested in their businesses, please just come over after the session to talk to them Or to explore our collaboration opportunities with them So now I would like to invite another special guest our dream member caroline von hedgeberg On stage to say a few words and wrap up the session So caroline is an ecosystem builder and she's the co-CEO of spring activator She's on a mission to bridge mission driven Impact driven entrepreneurs with impact investors.

Thank you for showing your incredible work Creating innovative sustainable and importantly scalable solutions Approaching approaches to tackling global problems today But first I wanted to take a moment to really acknowledge and applaud each of you not just for your compelling presentations But and I have been on the other side of of the the fence as an entrepreneur pitching I want to recognize the sweat and the tears The long hours of testing iterating Pivoting All that you've been through to get here today We see you Secondly, I also want to recognize the holistic and inclusive approaches that each of you are taking You're tackling really multi layered issues affecting multiple stakeholders And often with really complex supply chains And that really isn't easy work And I really loved hearing how each of you were really listening to and designing with your consumers Your customers and your partners in the process And lastly Each of you were ready to scale And the real question for all of us in the room today is how each of us Can support you to deepen and scale your impact? So whether you're an investor donor ally fellow entrepreneur Or in fact, do any of you buy clothes? Or have a social media account In which case you can support these incredible entrepreneurs Um, so before lunch because I appreciate that is what's next on the agenda I ask each of you to think about at least one way in which you can support One at least one of these entrepreneurs. So just take a moment write it down type it down But my ask is for you to think about a tangible way in which you can support these entrepreneurs And with that, thank you very much and bon appetit
