Laura Foti: Enabling Sustainability and Building Safer Products for Everyone
Laura: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Many companies want to make sustainable products and packaging, but they don't actually have easy access to all the data it takes to make those things. Typically, this information, commonly known as specifications, is scattered across different teams and companies. We help companies manage this information in one place so they can ensure products and packaging are made right, every time. Having this data also enables them to easily report on sustainability and make more sustainable products.

Lipoa Kahaleuahi: Striving to Preserve the Stories and Images of Hawai’i
Lipoa: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Hāna is among Hawai'i's most remote and underserved regions; the nearest urban facilities are a four hour round trip drive. The community comprises 394 households, and the U.S. Census reported that over 71% of residents are Native Hawaiian. Hāna's remoteness and lack of economic opportunity have resulted in an overall poverty rate of 22%, with the rate falling upwards of 42% for Native Hawaiians.

Marthe-Sandrine: Building Digital Tools to Make Healthcare Accessible for Africans
Marthe-Sandrine: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Without health we can't have fun with our friends or feed our kids and families. Being unable to access healthcare, paying for medication, or seeing a doctor prevents us from doing the things we enjoy now, and endanger our abilities to pursue fulfilling careers. NaYa's health credits help people in Africa to pay for their care without delay even when they are short of money, so they can get back to work and take care of their loved ones. Our digital health credits have helped mothers to enjoy a pain-free pregnancy by exchanging them in pharmacies to access stomach pain medicines promptly. With health credits accessible from their mobile phones, patients now have the peace of mind to get their care even when money is short, and pay later.
