Gary: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! With the help of health experts and community leaders, we're using music and the arts as a vehicle for healing and restoration. This happens naturally through all of our education concerts, but more specifically through a program that we've named Take a Breath. Our hope is that people walk away with tangible tools that allow them to move through whatever path towards wellness they may be on.
Chantel: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Indigeponics provides educational resources for communities to grow their own food using sustainable growing systems, like hydroponic systems. In the past, we had a demonstrational greenhouse that encouraged communities to interact with plants in a unique space that combines science, technology, and culture from an indigenous perspective. Currently, we provide free resources for communities about the basics of hydroponics, plant needs like light, nutrition, and water, and different types of hydroponic systems. Overall, our goal is to continue help others grow tasty food that is easily accessible and culturally relevant to bring communities together through food and kindness.
Saurabh: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Our startup is tackling the inefficiency in data pipelines, specifically within Spark and similar platforms. By optimizing transformations and queries with generative AI, we ensure that these pipelines consume fewer resources, save energy, and reduce time as well as costs for our clients. Our focus is not only on improving operational efficiency, but also on promoting sustainable, green software practices that contribute to a more eco-friendly tech industry.
