Vanessa:It’s great to be here, Spiffy! What you smell is goodness! We started Omsom to bring proud, loud Asian flavors to your fingertips any day of the week! We want Omsom to be sitting in your pantry, right between the tomato sauce and olive oil — no more diluted dishes, no more cultural compromise. Our mission is to reclaim andcelebrate the multitudesthat exist in Asian cultures,honor the communities we represent,and make mainstream grocery stores reflect the changing DNA of this country.

Dimensional Energy is addressing difficult-to-electrify and difficult-to-decarbonize sectors of our economy by producing carbon neutral fuels from CO2 and concentrated solar.

Michelle:With 17-20% ofindustrial water pollution coming from textile dyeing,wet processing is one of the largest challenges in that supply chain. All over the world, there are communities burdened withunhealthy amounts of toxic chemicals in local water sources,most of which are a direct byproduct of local textile production.Huueis using biotechnology to create cleaner sources of color for the world – without need for fossil fuels or hazardous chemicals. Our starting point is the indigo dye that is essential in the production of the most common item in our closet – jeans!
