"Witnessing the positive changes in people's daily habits as well as the idea of building a network of cities that champions sustainability keeps me going.

"I have a daughter, Lea. She is four and a half years old. When she was two years old, I thought about her future, and the planet that she will live on. I got scared when I learnt that 75% of the world might not be habitable when she is an adult because the world is becoming hotter and hotter. Floods, droughts, forest fires, and tsunamis will occur more and more, and maybe one day, she would have no place to live! As her mother, I wanted to use everything I know to help fix that problem—a very large problem! So I got to work and found a big and grand idea!" - Grace Sai, co-founder and CEO at Unravel Carbon (YC W22) Check out #Spiffy's latest Nasdaq interview with an inspiring changemaker!

It's like being superheroes for the planet and the people!" - Madeleine Valderrama Martinez, co-founder and CEO at Bruna by Altum Lab Check out #Spiffy's latest Nasdaq interview with an inspiring changemaker!

"Throughout my journey, I've been blessed with unwavering support from diverse corners of society. From family and friends to mentors and colleagues, each has lent their strength to my cause. I’ve had my fair share of imbalance (stories for another time), but their belief in me has ignited a fire within, propelling me to advocate fiercely for gender equality. With their encouragement, I've become a beacon of empowerment, rallying against injustice and breaking barriers. Together, we stand as a formidable force, determined to shatter stereotypes and pave the way for a more inclusive future. I want to be a part of creating a world where girls and boys can pursue their dreams without limitations!" - Diane Keng, co-founder and CEO at Breinify Check out #Spiffy's latest Nasdaq interview with an inspiring changemaker!

"I was motivated to start the company because of a deep-seated desire to address the pervasive issue of counterfeit products, especially in Africa and the Middle East, with my abilities to diagnose problems and create/invent a technological solution. Chekkit is my third company—witnessing the harmful effects of counterfeit drugs on people's health and the economy drove me to take action. My ambition is fuelled by the conviction that technology can be harnessed to create a safer and more transparent supply chain, ultimately saving lives, protecting consumers, and someday making me wealthy. This unwavering commitment to making a positive impact and improving the lives of millions continues to drive me and the Chekkit team forward in our mission." - Dare Odumade, founder and CEO at Chekkit Technologies Corp.
